About me: I love to get lost in stories--reading them and writing them. My latest book, "Golden", a historical novel for young adults set in 1967 to 1969, has just been released. I am also the author of "Brushstrokes", a memoir of growing up in Brooklyn, NY in the 1950s and 1960s.For more info, please visit Fair Mile Books.

that night so many eye blink eternities ago and visions of johanna mingling with acoustic guitars and barbaras backup vocals sung all throaty aint it just like the night to play tricks when yr tryin to be so quiet (tryin to be so quiet) that night visions of johanna with seductive MOLLY and cornstarch tickling synapses in the blurred throbbing visions of johanna of it all that night swimming in acoustic chords with that little girl lost holdin a handfull of rain wonderin if it was me or her that was insane that night visions of johanna in the pot smoke I watched float in the damp dark and dance with that timid cat before those eyes of all those all night girls and shaved head boys with ghost electricity howlin in the bones of their faces while the country music station played soft but there was nothin really nothin to turn off (really nothin to turn off) that night smelling of pine needle gin and soakin in honey brown ale with the acoustic guitars like loose strung angels and barbara's throaty vocals haunting the backdrop and all the unamed chemicals and the way they creep beneath the skin and those visions of johanna kept me up past the dawn (past the dawn)
June 11th!!!! I will become a grandmother- finally. Joe and his sweet wife Trisha are expecting. While on leave he had a mission-to impregnate his wife and like the good soldier he is he accomlished his mission--or "they" did I should say. Now i am writing like mad. Hey girl- do you know how much I miss you and our good times?? Well- I do.
Hey old friend!!! YOu've been really busy!! So happy about your success with your book and all surrounding it. I sincerely wish I were there to share the activities. I so miss my lover NYC. Sucha reliable loving companion. Never a dull moment with my beloved companion. As you can see I miss NYC and will always I suppose.
Those lips on the unidentified ass on my page is a gift from my son. I visited while he was on leave and he bought me that tatoo. What a kid. He would introduce me to his pals--" This is my mom and she will probably show her ass tonight." He was proud. I dont think he ever told anyone my name and I spent the entire visit being called Mom. I didn't mind.
Whew!! I was afraid you would be mad at me for the makeovers!! I thought they were cute -ecven the one with the"short" hair. (That is not short- it long in my opinion.hehe) Will write more on my day off on fri. Working hard and lots of overtime to finacne trip to see Joe in Atlanta on his R&R from Iraq. He will be home 2 weeks then off again until march of 2008. Keep the creativity flowing girl!!!!! Anxious for your book debut. Come to Tulsa to do a book signing! YOu can stay wit me and all my kitty cats.
