Who is your favorite author? What do you think you’ve learned from them and use in your own writing? Which authors have inspired me?

DetailsNot so good I’m reading a road trip review book that’s not so good. I won’t give details because I’ll be giving a formal review when I finish it. I went to the Amazon sales page to see what other people thought of this debut novel. The 10 reviewers loved it. 4 and 5 stars.…

Instead, I either stay home alone and eat regional African food that he can’t stand (I think I was African in a previous life), or I go somewhere where…
DetailsYesterday, I harvested another pumpkin. If I’m lucky, there will be one more. I volunteered to make the Thanksgiving pumpkin pie, so I will sacrifice my little friend for the greater good.
There’s always next year’s harvest.
I got home yesterday afternoon and was greeted by the resident tail waggers, two rescue dogs from the SPCA. There’s nothing like it. It took longer to calm their delirium than it did to unpack. The weather overall was pretty rainy, going up, coming back, and quite a bit in between. Still, New England in…
