You Should Read this Novel: What the Bayou Saw June 30, 2009

Every now and then, a book comes along that I absolutely must tell you about. What the Bayou Saw, by Patti Lacy, is the most courageous book I have read in years.

Michael Jackson: His Love Story? June 30, 2009

I mentioned in a recent blog post that I still recalled the day Elvis died. It had such a big impact on the public that even a small child couldn’t have missed it. My mom took out her albums and we listened  to them in the living room, like so many times before, except this time Mom was a [...]

Facing Our Own Immortality: Michael, Farrah, and Ed June 26, 2009

I remember hearing about Elvis’ death when I was a very little girl. I didn’t really understand back then why everyone was so sad. Did we know the man whose songs we danced to in our living room? Was the man on the album covers of my Mom’s records our friend? It seemed like everyone knew him [...]

Hanging out with Writers in the Mountains at Crested Butte June 20, 2009
