They don’t call March the ‘Women’s Month’ for nothing. Here;s something new to celebrate, off the beaten path I might add, one I haven’t given recently, not in years, certainly not in a long time – yes, an author interview, March 2024. I typically shy away from these, but if you’re interested to know more about me and my writing, read on. Link is here :

…And things will change, as we branch off into the new, elevating ourselves for the second chance, to start over, and over, there’s a nuance in there, the self-boost towards things never attained. Happy New Year 2024, to all my readers, followers, friends, silicasun visitors, revisitors, who follow my Posts and Pages journey here and on social media – Twitter, FaceBook, GoodReads, Pinterest, LinkedIn.

My agenda is unforgiving, raising a toast to new writing, a newly opened blank page, a new inspiration, a new determination, new materials to read, sift, as I partake of the seasonal situation, then reimagine, draw a map, potentially renew, then write, write, write, the next year, the next month, the next day, and the next, the chief unspoiled moment being that nothing is a waste. A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone, and to the editors and magazines / journals / anthologies that published my work this year, literary and genre, short stories and poems :

The Wild Word Literary Magazine
