I’ve completed a new prose novel, All the World Aside<\/em>, a sequel to Portraits of Familiar Strangers<\/em>. \u00a0The events of this new story take place twenty years after the first novel’s narrative and centers around the character of Joyce as she succumbs to a devastating illness. \u00a0The upcoming book holds a place very close to my heart. \u00a0During the writing process, my mother endured a series of health struggles. \u00a0
Over the last year or so, the world truly seemed to go away. \u00a0So much of my strength and effort was focused on my mother’s health and getting her to a stable place. \u00a0Hopefully, brighter days are ahead. \u00a0Information on the upcoming novel will be available soon.
Kindness,
