Writer, reader, hiker, kite flyer, rambler. I love history, art, animals, historic hotels, and France. I write mysteries. I now live in the high desert, but the waters of Lake Michigan and the Mississippi River keep me hydrated.

Beautiful piece. And I love your banner!
I bury myself in books and French television.

I saw this on Noir Alley two Saturdays ago. I was surprised I'd never seen it before. I loved those location shots in NOLA....I recognized every building on every block. Good film.

I still remember that day at the Beauregard-Keyes House when you and Gwen Florio received the first prizes. You were accompanied by a special someone in a stroller.

Science fiction written by black women goes back to the 19th and early 20th. centuries!

Rejecting Trump’s Call to Annex Their Nation, Canadians Rally Around the Flag While Canadians are not generally known for flag waving, President Trump’s threats have led to a surge in flag sales and buffed up the national symbol’s image.

Can anyone tell me why I don't see posts from people I follow here? I have to search for them. I've checked my settings. Basically, I only see posts from news outlets and @karenho.

It's just so horrible I don't know what to say. Either we've learned nothing from history, or too many humans are inherently bloodthirsty. Could "evil" be the word? I just don't know.
