ME AND MY STUFF

Well, I am moving. Of course, this comes with high hope and unsettling realizations. I can take a little credit for keeping everything (all my clutter) neat and clean and for giving things away when I could sell them.

She grew up poor and fatherless, since her father passed away when she was only two. In the photo above, we are in Cuba, and I am holding her hand. My older sister, […]

THE DICKENS SPIRIT, NOW AND ALWAYS

THANKSGIVING MESSAGE

I am grateful for imperfection, silliness, and madness.

I am grateful for fantasy and imagination.

I am grateful for kindness, for hugs and all the love and light in the universe.

I am grateful because there is something beautiful in everyone.

INTERVIEW WITH AUTHOR LAURIE KOZLOWSKI

The author provides excellent visuals with descriptive scenes and characters we care about—Anna, a warm, courageous woman with admirable strength and Jake, who will ultimately win you over with his tender heart. […]

A DARK ROSE BLOOMS WORLDWIDE RELEASE

Such sweet memories I recall When the sun blinds my eye, And bluebirds of joy and contentment cry. The ones that are cold, Frightening omens foretold, I want to make them slip away, Yet they’ll haunt me night and day.
