New Interviews and Reviews of The Robot Scientist’s Daughter (with Dogwood)
Well, I was feeling down in my last post, but I have to say, since then, I wrote some poems, sent out some poems, and nothing but nice things have happened with the new book, so it’s hard to stay down! I’m almost out of copies from selling so many, and several nice interviews and reviews have appeared. It was eighty degrees yesterday and I went out to take pictures of the pink dogwoods. I haven’t seen so many blooms like this since I lived in Knoxville. These particular types of dogwood trees didn’t do well here in the Northwest when I first arrived, and they’ve been getting stronger and flourishing over the past couple of warmer springs.
Like me! Though I’ve been down with a cold this week, it’s nothing like the pneumonia and severe flus and broken bones I dealt with over the past previous springs. And I’m thankful.
Updated: And, thanks to The Alternating Current Press Blog The Spark for this remarkable interview about the Robot Scientist’s Daughter with Lori Hettler.

Two more days til I turn 42. Every birthday I have a little bit of that feeling of measuring up, trying to figure out if I’m where I’m supposed to be, if I need to tune in to something I’ve been missing. I’m trying to give myself more time to write, even in the middle of chaos, each day. I’m trying to figure out where we’re going – literally (we’ll be moving soon) and figuratively. I think I’m lucky to have made it this far. I’m making wishes.
