Harvey, 13 Days, How to Help

Anyone who has read the first Lynn Dayton thriller, 13 Days: The Pythagoras Conspiracy, knows it is set in Houston. Houston is known especially for how its citizens reached out to help the people of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. If you or someone you know is so inclined, the Houston Chronicle has put together a list of ways to help Houston now in this still-ongoing flooding disaster.

mixed media, NTX

North Texans on Goodreads--I don't often write about non-book subjects, but I'm highly recommending Tony Award-winning Dallas Theater Center's production of Inherit the Wind. Unbelievable performances from stellar actors on a humane theme about the power of beliefs and ideas.

Now thru June 18th.
