A Note from Mary Ambroe

About When Last on the Mountain: “These short pieces (most are) of insight and experience (mostly positive) of fine writers (most are) who are older (all are) are fun (most are) and are easy reading (most are). It's a perfect collection of attributes ideal for us ‘older folks.’ Every piece I've read so far has touched me in some way, has aroused some sort of feeling in me. I haven't participated this much in any writing for a long time, and I've never been wonderful at it. This, however is a major treat. And again, I thank you.” Thank you...Mary!

Earthquakes and Reading!

Tue, 23 Aug 2011 16:54:25 -0500

Editor Carol Roan writes from Winston-Salem: “I had a reading today at a branch library. . . .
The interesting thing was the earthquake that happened during the reading - a loud noise, and the floor rolled under my feet, a cool feeling, actually. One person e-mailed that ‘the earth moved, really,’ because it was such a good presentation!” Thanks, Carol!
