Fall in Mount Auburn Cemetery

Leaf season is late this year in eastern Massachusetts. We've been paying attention, waiting for a sunny day to visit Mount Auburn Cemetery :o). Here are some photos, especially for those of you who don't get to enjoy a leaf season.

Kevin took this one with Fancy Camera. That's me.

I took the rest with my iPhone, battling against the Worst OS Update Of All Time. Apple, try as you might, you will not ruin my day!

I love when the sun shines into a dark spot and lights it up like a jewel :o)

Like in this one!

Kevin.

Hints of color.


Show off!

So pretty. Happy fall!

Hello, lovely people. I have another craft post planned for sometime soon… I'm hoping to write about The Housekeeper and the Professor , by Yoko Ogawa, if I can just figure out how to articulate what I want to say. It's such a beautiful book! One of those rare books I got out of the library, read, then decided I needed to own. Until then, I wanted to share a little bit of blather about Winterkeep (January 19, 2021), plus display all eight new covers — the new USA and UK covers for Graceling , Fire , Bitterblue , and Winterkeep — altogether in one place.

I pretty much allowed anyone a point of view, sort of as an experiment, to see how each character felt, and figure out whose feelings were most important. Then gradual

"If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." -Toni Morrison     Winterkeep is my latest release, and the fourth installment in the Graceling Realm series. As usual, I'm appallingly behind in updating this page, but it was released in January 2021 and I'll come back and provide more details as soon as I have a minute away from revising the fifth installment in the Graceling Realm series!   ************* Jane, Unlimited is my fourth release, a kaleidoscopic novel about grief, adventure, storytelling, and finding yourself in a world of seemingly infinite choices. It's also about umbrellas and umbrella-making :o). It comes out on September 19, 2017. I hope to have more stuff up about it soon, including reviews and foreign release info! For now -- Jane has lived an ordinary life, raised by her aunt Magnolia—an adjunct professor and deep sea photographer. Jane counted on Magnolia to make
