Much Left to the Imagination – part 2
When I wrote “part 1,” I didn’t intend a follow-up piece. But now I find that I must retract part of what I said then. “I have to thank you, Miss Woodhouse, for a very kind forgiving message in one of Mrs. Weston’s letters. I … Continue reading
Much Left to the Imagination
Progress Report: Yay! I’m happy to say that I have officially broken out of my “analysis paralysis (see previous post).” I’ve made momentous decisions this past week about my audio books, the result of which is that I now have two amazing narrators under contract and three of … Continue reading

Nothing Ventured; Nothing Gained

Thinking of Venice
I was just thinking about the fact that four years ago today I was strolling around Venice. My husband was sent there on business, but for me it was strictly vacation – 9 days with nothing to do but explore a city that’s like no … Continue reading
