Closing the book

I like basketball. Lately I've noticed -- other folks have noticed for me -- that I'm now picking up the game's metaphors. Yeah, I suppose I am. "Putting it all on the floor." I think I did. "Taking it straight to the hole." I hope I did. "Draining it from way outside." Yes, I tried to and now I figure it is safe to say:
"Book it!" Read my blog as I'm musing about the process of walking up to the publication date ( JULY 8) of my latest novel, ANGELS MAKE THEIR HOPE HERE.

Mapping the real and imagined

I went to Newark Museum’s American Art collection to see an important Duncanson painting, Mountain Landscape with Cows and Sheep, that is part of the Museum’s permanent collection of American paintings.

go to: http://bit.ly/1pEMKP0 to see several pix of Duncanson's paintings.
