We've concluded, that since many of our prospective readers of 'Wings & Dreams: 4 Elements of a New Feminism, are in 'restrictive' cultures, we'll be translating and delivering the multi lingual(each book will be in a native language and Global Language of English), through online downloads exclusively. Watch this site for progress reports.
My granddaughter moved in with me in 2004 when my daughter died in a car accident. We started naming all the birds and animals that feed, live, and visit our property in Dixmont, Maine, then we started taking pictures of them and began writing children's stories about them, We now have our first book published. Anyone interested can view it at Author House Book Store or you can contact me @ forestfriendsofmaine@yahoo.com

Last year mustered in a new president, a sad economy, and plenty of unemployed people.
