Posts From the Box – Katherine Schneider, PhD
Even at my non-famous level (9 out of 10 times no one recognizes me at the Farm & Fleet) (and then half the time it’s a relative, neighbor, or Moose Country 106.7 listener), my calendar is such that I meet many, many thoughtful people in passing and simply cannot do justice to their kindnesses or adequately recognize their hard work or support their latest project the way they might hope and deserve. In addition, my email and snail-mailbox overflows weekly with manuscripts, CDs, advance copies, digital links and attachments, and requests for me to review or discuss more smart, powerful writing and heartfelt art than I could lay my eyes on if it was my full-time job. That said, I keep a box of books and notes and CDs and miscellaneous objects given to me on the road, and when I can I jot a note or make a mention. Thus, Posts from the Box.
An honest, funny book about occupying aging and living with disabilities. From Katherine Schneider, PhD, and someone with whom I’ve had a nodding acquaintance for years. More here.

Open Air Get Together
Thank you Pamela Klinger-Horn and Valley Bookseller for a great stage, great sound, and great company. Hearing the origin stories of other authors and their work is always energizing and encouraging. Heartening to spend time with writers and readers someplace other than Zoom.
