09.01.2022 It feels like it's been a big year, one way and another, but I'm not sure anything is going to top the astonishment of discovering that a book of mine was nestled on Barbara Kingsolver's nightstand ... not once, but twice; via Goodreads and in The New York Times! Posting with great gratitude, and signing off for 2018. A happy summer (or winter, depending on your location) of reading to you all. And thanks for your support for all my words. https://www.nytimes.com//barbara-kingsolver-by-the-book.ht
