Hello Beautiful People, This past Monday I was invited to see a staged reading of By Wheel and By Wing. Oh goodness. What to say? Perhaps the creators of this show will say it best – By Wheel and By Wing is a remarkable and unusual true story of Holocaust survival. It is based on…

A Write Teacher(s) Spotlight: BLOODSONG OF LOVE
Hello Beautiful People, Last night, after coming home from the concert reading of Bloodsong of Love at 54 Below, I sat down at my computer, ready to write. And honestly?
