The End

I recently published my first edited book,  Labor of Love: A Literary Mama Staff Anthology ,  with  Small Harbor Publishing .

Spring Writes

This coming weekend is going to be a very bookish time in Ithaca.

Starting Saturday, going through monday, and then the following two weekends after that is the Friends of the Library Book Sale.  My twice yearly book loving frenzy.  You name the title, you can probably find it in the massive warehouse on Esty St.  And, not have to pay more than 4 bucks for it. 

In addition, is the third annual Spring Writes Finger Lakes Literary Festival.  A weekend full of panel discussions, short writing workshops, and poetry and prose readings all over town.
Check out the Spring Writes webpage for an hourly listing of activities, or the social FB page.

I love spring.  It brings out the inspiration of good words in all of us.
