Near Insanity!

Hello everyone – my husband and I are new to your community, but we feel at home all ready. Everyone has been so nice and helpful! We’ve just published our first book: Little Book of Memories, Vol. 1 – due out this fall – it’s been in the making two years now.

Not writing lately

Oh! The pain was tremendous. Oral surgery is no fun. I had the last of my teeth pulled last week, and I'm not happy. It was, of course, the smoking-40 years of it. But, then, 40 years ago who knew.

Just added 14th post to Who Killed Emmett Till? free blog book

Land of King Cotton ...

Late August in the Mississippi Delta is cruel. I know this is true because I lived there two summers — on the grounds of Parchman Penitentiary, just a few short miles from the site when Emmett Till was murdered.

Mid-nineties is common and typically it is so hot and humid that if you’ve been sitting a while and stand up, your backside sticks to your clothes, even if they're made of cotton.… Continue
