I always tell ppl to remember that though governments come and go, the Catholic Church is the oldest institution in continuous operation: 2000 years.

We are that much closer to seeing this exciting new series.

All of You is stellar. I’ve only seen Brett Goldstein in Ted Lasso, but this moves him into a whole new realm. Terrific acting job. AppleTV+

What’s your favorite writing-instruction book. Mine, oddly, is a 1970s book titled “Modern Fiction Techniques” by F. A. Rockwell. Some of the marketing ideas are outdated (like “short stories are a good market”) but the writing advice is truly solid.

Remember the movie “A.I.” by Spielberg? Now the “Flesh Fair” scene is an event that I could see happening IRL

The audiobook of Lena, Wild Girl on the Prairie, is coming next month! I'm excited that Susan Wegmann is narrator.

She has a warm voice that tells the story perfectly (I've heard a preview) and is narrator of many audiobooks.

We all need a little Maya Angelou every day. Her words are poetic, and you can almost hear her loving voice when you read them.

Readers have asked me, "Did Hiram ever go back to working on the railroad?" He did, according to Lena's own writings:

"The Forbes family continued moving from place to place wherever railroads were being built. Mary was born December 25, 1881, at Inman, Nebraska.

Coming next month: LENA audiobook. If you don't have Audible, get it now. Did you know you can listen to podcasts through Audible, too? Audiobooks are NOT cheap, unless you use Audible:

What to do if you aren't selling as many copies of the latest book you've written. Just keep writing. More books, more readers.

Be like Tarzan, be brave.

Though the children were young, they protested so emphatically that the idea was given up. They went to Clay Center, Worth County, where they camped around until November when they returned to Elizabeth, Minnesota.

Notes from Lena's daughter Lola:

"Docia, Hiram, Lena and Gene left for Missouri. The parents tried to put Lena and Gene into an orphanage and to use the money their father supplied for themselves.
