What are you grateful for?

Time for a postcard

The Writing Master in paper!!!
May 5, 2013 I am so pleased to announce that The Writing Master is, at long last, coming out in paperback TODAY!!! Hip, hip, hooray! Yes, I downloaded the e-book version and wandered briefly, into the 1850’s with the story, but call me “old-fashioned,” I like a book as a companion I can carry with […]
