Being greatly harassed by this obstacle…

Oh how I love thee, Charlotte. From her preface to the 1850 edition of Wuthering Heights. This bringing out of our little book was hard work. As was to be expected, neither we nor our poems were at…Read More

First Base

Where do I start? The conference was a stomach-churning, nail-biting, delirium-inducing whirlwind of sheer amazingness. I got requests from everyone I pitched to (seven total), which makes me very, very happy. I’m going to take a week to…Read More
