I saw an advent calendar for sale today. Please, not yet. To quote the writer Gretchen Rubin – the days are long but the years are short. I love this time of year and it’s a busy one, quickly slipping by, with some new beginnings for me. I’m teaching writing at the Lawrence Arts Center, which…

May I ask you a favor?
May I ask you a favor? If you have read my novel Joy Again, would you be wiling to write a review on Amazon or Goodreads? Thank you 🙂 Also, my brother in law, Uncle Donnie made a wonderful video of my reading for Joy Again at the Lawrence Public Library. I hope your final May…
Wasabi, roses, books and great dirt.
Last Thursday I realized a moment too late that I was driving straight past my exit off of I-70 coming back from Topeka. I thought it was the second exit that puts you out on to Iowa Street when I realized that it was indeed the East Lawrence exit, my exit – the exit I have turned…

It’s Not Boring
Four years ago I pulled out one of my favorite quotes from Ruth Reichl when posting about upcoming changes at our former restaurant Esquina. I find I am drawn to it again… “Moderation in all things is a mantra we’ve been hearing a lot about of late. It is healthy. It is sane. It is…
