The Sun Singer e-book, a PDF file that can be printed out, is available for only $5.33 at Powell's. Not a bad price. Plus, you can get the book right this minute and start reading.

Meanwhile, Yvonne Perry has interviewed me and will be posting "the results" on her blog on November 2. More news on that when it appears.

Tonight, in NE Georgia, we're getting our first freeze warning of the season. Before dinner, we brought in all the plants that spend the winter in the garage.

I hope you are staying warm wherever you are.

Saturday's Stream of Consciousness

"Often I tried the frightening way of 'reality,' where things that count are profession, fashion, finance, but disillusioned and freed I fled away alone to the other side, the place of dreams and blessed folly."

--Hermann Hesse

Another day to ignore standard reality and contemplate the latest volume from Heron Dance, "Gratitude and Wild Wivers,"

to imagine the consciousness of water,

to hear water's voice,

to find connexions with dreams and, as MaAnna Stephenson ("The Age Age") suggests, viewing those dreams with clarity,

clarity enough to manifest them into the temporal,

clarity enough to draw like minds into the energy of creation and healing the earth and loving that which matters and setting aside old habits such as disease and war and the notion we are alone.

The sun is out today after yesterday's welcome rain, the sound of water on the roof in harmony with wind's voice, a good day to discover poems and put them on paper, to sleep and, perchance to dream.

A little marketing humor

Yes, those of us who write like to poke fun at ourselves as long as whole mobs of people don't join in. On my Trick Falls blog, see Virus Marketing Didn't Work Out as Well as I Hoped.

Next "Living Jackson Magazine" Review

After skipping a month, I've just finished reviewing "Zero Degrees of Separation" by Sandra Hatfield for the November issue of the magazine. While I can't copy my print review into a weblog (!!!), I posted my comments about this delightful book in my Malcolm's Round Table weblog. See The Illusion of Separation.

Crawford W. Long Museum

One of the three buildings in the Crawford W. Long Museum complex in Jefferson, Georgia, is an 1858 general store. As a nice break from fiction writing, I'm researching the history of The Pendergrass Store for use in a National Register of Historic Places application which the museum plans to submit next year.

A few links
