Thanks Linda and Aj—I love that a book might be in the hands of a young reader. Linda, of course, I'd be glad to!

Just Published—The Heritage Keeper
Hi all, I've been working on stories/poems/books for children, with the conviction that skills developed trying to write poetry improve your instincts no matter which direction you take. I brought out a self-published middle-grade (age 9-12) novel in 2016—fumbling, but nonetheless used in a couple ...

Re: Voices On The Wind
Gyppo, you imply there's purpose in the voices, and that they're aimed at you. Do you think that of other things that come blowing in the wind?

Re: A Story and a Half
Oh dear! Dave, is this jargon? The last thing I want is to make a reader feel low! So, I need to include more about how the game works. Will work on that. Linda, I read that you yell "Pigtail" if you want a second chance, and it sounds like you know about that, too. I don't think we did. I know what...
