Fare Thee Well, Summer Holiday…

I’m navigating the familiar mourning period I experience each January. A weekday alarm will soon replace sleep-ins. My fortnightly food planner will dictate our meals and allocated snacks. Routine will govern my hours, and I will stuff the need to declare a reading day into the recesses of my dreams (too bad I rarely recall […]

Writing Letters Authentically, Izzy

Last week I read Pepper Basham’s latest release, Authentically, Izzy, a delightful epistolary novel which released today.
