The Book of the Wounded Healers (A Study in Perception) – Chapter 6 – “Tourists versus Locals”   A path I’m unaware of brings us to Legion Memorial Square where a sign on a lamppost reads like the top paragraph of a newspaper story; Who What When Where Why. There is no How. Our entourage … Continue reading "The Book of the Wounded Healers (A Study in Perception) – Chapter 6 – “Tourists versus Locals”"

I asked fellow Midnight Garden anthology contributors to share some things about themselves prior to publication and those generous enough to do so will be appearing here for the next week or so.

Felicia, Alice, Gertrude, Maxwell and Anastasia

Ah, happy families abound. Especially at meal time. It’s always good to see the whole family together, eating, enjoying each other’s company… Except where’s Poppa? Raccoons do not mate for life.
