Thank you so much to all who joined me in celebrating the release of Notorious in Nashville at Parnassus Books this past Thursday night! I had such a great time, and I hope you all did as well!
Banned Books Week!
The Library/Media Center at Nashville State Community College, where I taught for twenty years, always made a big deal of Banned Books Week–and it IS a big deal. I won’t even touch banning Dr. Seuss for children, but college should be a place where students can grow in their ability to examine, explore, evaluate–basically, think for themselves. Thank you, Faye Jones at NSCC, for sending photos of this year’s display!

Story in WELL READ MAGAZINE
Remember the 2010 flood in Nashville? That’s what I’m writing about in “Things We Keep, Things We Throw Away.” So grateful to WELL READ Magazine for reprinting this story that was first published in 2 Bridges Review. Please comment if my story brings back memories of your experience during that frightening time. My story begins on page 88-89.
Here is the link: “What We Keep, What We Throw Away”
