Spring has sprung with a vengeance. #gardensofbluesky #springgardens #gardenflowers

I’m not so sure it’s a new thing, either. History has a few more examples. They just didn’t have X, Elon Musk, or ketamine to spread the word and keep them going past their expiry date.

I was very excited to learn this weekend that my speculative historical novel in progress, The Alchemy of Light, has advanced to the finalist stage for this UK-based novel prize -- the winner will be announced in May!

THE SPRING OSSABAW ISLAND WRITERS RETREAT? FANTASTIC. We had unspoiled forests. Beaches w/bone-white trees reaching for the moon. Alligators. Wild hogs. Donkeys to pet. Inside, serious workshops of MSS by up and coming & established writers, and delicious meals day & night. Success! #writersretreats
