  • DO Men Read?

    https://substack.com/home/post/p-159472409?source=queue GREAT ARTICLE The article is long, but well worth reading. There are two embedded videos, both are also long but very worth it.

  • Events and more events!

    Last weekend I helped put on the Writers Conference of Northern Appalachia®, familiarly known as WCoNA. I’m part of a small staff who put on this—in my opinion—excellent conference. It’s both exhilirating and exhausting. My daughter lives in the area, so I spent a couple of days with her, relaxing and recovering, and was home…

  • Book Review—The Solace of Denim, by Kathy Otten

    What a gripping page-turner! I tore through this book, unable to stop reading (and when I had to put it down, it stayed on my mind!) I truly cared about the main character, and feared for him throughout.

    Vintage novels making a comeback
