Further News

         As my ridiculously busy season finally winds down, I hope to be able to get back to a more regular schedule of sharing excellent block prints and fantasy with you.  For now, however, here’s one more post just to give you links to some more things I’ve been doing that include content everyone can access.
        • On Dec. 11 I was a guest on Story Hour, an on-line program hosted by Laura Blackwell and Daniel Marcus, that live-streams author readings every Wednesday night.  I read aloud two full short stories from Bittersweetness & Light - “A Life for a Life” and “Love Potion”- and you can watch the recording here.  My fellow author on this episode was Jo Miles, who shared a fun and satisfying Christmas story, so I recommend that you listen to her reading to help get yourself in the holiday spirit!
        • My poem “Knitting” was published in the Winter 2024 issue of New Myths magazine, which just came out.  You can read my poem - and the entire issue - here.


        If you’re local to eastern MA and art is more your thing, I do have pieces in two group shows that are up now.
        • Illumination is Gallery Twist’s annual festive group show in Lexington.  There’s no theme, but there’s an emphasis on twinkling lights and merry mood.  I have seven pieces to be found somewhere among the more than 200 on display throughout the beautifully decorated space.  The exhibition will be up through January 5.  (Info here.)
        • Art with Heart is at TILL Wave Gallery in Watertown.  The gallery space is somewhat hidden by lots of construction on the street, but once you get inside you’ll be
embraced by beauty and color!  I have three pieces in this exhibit, which will be up through January 18.  
(Info here.)


        Wherever you are, and whether or not you visit my particular activities, do be sure to find ways to bring beauty, art, story, imagination, and community into your life!

I like your poem, and I would love that knitter to come and live somewhere nearby ... but alas Danish houses in general have no porches.

That's interesting that Danish houses don't generally have porches. I would hate to have no porches - for me they are a symbol of welcome and community! But that's okay, I'm sure the witch can find a bench to sit on somewhere in your neighborhood, or maybe even a coffee shop when the weather is bad. =)

I love a porch. This house we live in now does not have a porch. It has a lovely solarium, but although the sun is wonderful through the windows, it's not the same as the air that moves through a porch.
