Reading and Writing Life
An Ode to Squirrel Moments ~~ Chris Redding
As I am writing this, I am sick and hacking up a lung. I VERY rarely get sick so this is a pretty impressive bug that has a hold of me. It has probably been ten years since I've felt this awful for this long. It's been four days and counting. Here I sit trying to...

Moon Over Alcatraz ~~~ by Patricia Yager Delagrange
Patricia Yager Delagrange In 2009 my daughter came home from school and told me her friend asked her why her mommy didn’t have a job. I had been a stay-at-home mom since becoming pregnant with my son in 1993. This gave me pause. I realized I had more time since my two...
Why Wolves ~~~ by Margay Leah Justice
Why Wolves? Whenever I discuss my latest book, Sloane Wolf, people often ask me, Why Wolves? And I have to say, why not? Wolves are fantastic creatures that mate for life and are truly faithful to their mates (from what I've read), and we humans could learn a lot...
