Michigan-based mystery novelist. My books feature Polish-American investigative reporter Joe Novak. My likes: cats, dogs, shopping, rainy days, long walks, a bit of hygge, a good laugh, a good cup of tea, and good peeps. Interested in books?
Is this the most delicious sound in the world? (The sound of a knife slicing through just baked sourdough.)

Looked up a word I learned on NYT’s Connections today. Not buying this explanation of its etymology.

A few lucky authors don't have to revise their work. I am not one of them.

In 1941, a teenage pilot training for World War II wrote "High Flight," a poem that is now considered immortal.

There’s 🎶 music 🎵 in these words.
Good morning, creatives! One of the best classes I took in high school was called "Word Power." We learned root words, prefixes, and suffixes. After that, I could figure out what a word meant. Vocabulary is cool.

Books have emotional impact. Which book have you read this year that moved you deeply? For me, it was John Preston’s The Dig.

A poem about autumn and growing up and losing the fresh eyes of childhood. Spring and Fall by Gerard Manley Hopkins captures the poignance of the season.

Autumn morning. A hint of frost on the grass. Leaves gently falling.

Cozy autumn morning. Having a cup of hot tea. Enjoying a candle by the fireplace.

My latest loaf of my 100% organic whole wheat sourdough bread. I know not everyone likes rustic bread like this, but imho it’s the best!
