Ravens croak through myth and legend. Odin’s twin birds, Huginn and Muninn, flew across the world to bring him thought and memory. Ravens are not just scavengers but keepers of knowledge. #FairyTaleTuesday

Getting a positive review is always a feather in my cap. When the review is from an author, the feather is a bit larger. Getting one from the Pulitzer Prize winner of THE SHIPPING NEWS is like getting the whole darn flock!!

Miles Davis didn’t begin to draw and paint in earnest until he was in his mid-fifties. He was said to have worked obsessively each day on art when he wasn’t touring. His style was a bold and masculine mixture of Kandinsky, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Picasso and African tribal art.

I was admiring someone’s book in the green room. Took a pic. I ordered the book a week ago! Yay me.

Come to find out the book is for me! And author Greg Jarrell popped over for my keynote today. Thanks Greg. This one is a family read and we are very excited for it.

My review of THE FROZEN PEOPLE by Elly Griffiths is in IG & SG. Ali Dawson is on a cold case team with a secret. They can time travel to learn about the crimes. She goes back to 1850 to help a politician clear his family name. Meanwhile her son is charged with murder & she’s stuck in the past.
⚡️📚💙

The over of the book THE FROZEN PEOPLE by Elly Griffiths is mainly dark purple but there is a small open door at the bottom with light shining through.

You never said goodbye
The silence stretched between us fast
An empty space where my heart once was

Filled with memories so bittersweet
A silent pause before the part
Words left unspoken and hearts yet torn
Yet in my ache is a quiet plea
A hope for what was meant to be~
