Okay, fine; so I caved. When I first published my book, I was cocky. I did it! I wrote it! I put it out there and let other people read it! Guess what? Other people have opinions. Some of which I don't like. Especially about the F word. Does an F word by any other … Continue reading I caved

I had the great good luck to find out about Anita Shreve's talk at RiverTree Center for the Arts last evening in time to actually go.
