As a writer—and sometime publisher—I’ve fallen down some this past year. Life intruded a bit.
That is as that is. There will be new work soon. Yes, really. Oh, I know I’ve made promises before but I mean it this time!
Actually, a book should be ready shortly after the New Year, assuming the graphics turn out properly (I’d hate to have to rephotograph everything and, yes, I still use a film camera.). That will be a retrospective of “The Art of K. Page Brooke.” The text is all written and ready to plug in.
Oh, you noted the similarity of our names? K. Page Brooke is my mother and was a pretty decent painter in her time (she’s 94 now, has Alzheimer’s and no longer paints). A very minor painter to be sure, not known much beyond the southern Florida area where she lived and worked. I wanted to create this book in memory of her art and career.
After all, if I didn’t, who would?
Beyond the art book, 2013 is something of a blank slate. I’ll write something on it eventually.
