Happy Earth Day — read about my magic trees!

Good evening, Write Edge readers. I hope it’s a little warmer where you all are. We’re coming close to the end of April in Central Illinois, but it’s still a touch cool here. No snow — it’s too warm for that (I think) — that familiar chill in the air.

Nevertheless, we soldier on. I’ve posted my latest haiku for you as I spend this year processing grief and life after my dad’s death. Sometimes these poems are serious. Sometimes, like today, they’re a little more playful (because I’m able to find happiness in the little things.) Check out my poem now on The Write Edge Writing Workshop.

Last week on my Instagram #bookreviewpreview, I shared what I’m reading this week. On Wednesday find out what I thought of Darling Girls, the latest by domestic thriller author Sally Hepworth. You’ll see that review on The Write Edge Bookshelf.

And speaking of Instagram, it’s back to the photo app at the end of the week. Check out bits and pieces from my writing and non-writing events. Missed previous posts? Find them now by using my handle, @EktaRGarg.

And because it is Earth Day, if you’re looking for books connected to nature, I recommend my original fairy tale for grownups, In the Heart of the Linden Wood. As I use my writing to connect grief, magic, and hope, I also want to reach all of you who have experienced the first, wished for the second, and are looking for the third.

Have a good week, readers, and remember to tell a loved one you care about them. Life is too short not to.
