Departure , the new book is in the publisher's hands and it is my hope that it will be out before Christmas? It is selection of short stories, poetry and other short writings from my life time of writing plus many of my daughter's etchings. I describe is as quick readings for busy people. So if you are waiting for your dinner to warm or for a tardy train, you can find something to just fit into that time slot and read it. This will be a perfect book for the e-reader too or for falling asleep!
