Radical Woman by Maggie Humm: A Review
I’ve already mentioned this book a couple of times, so you know I enjoyed it. Here’s my official take. Radical Woman, a KĂĽnstlerroman about artist Gwen John, also sculptor Rodin’s long-time lover and model, captivates. This book by Maggie Humm, Woolf scholar and author of Talland House, is told in the heat of first person,Continue reading “Radical Woman by Maggie Humm: A Review”
Tastefully Yours
Today’s book tour post. Go register to win! The sweetest thing happened the other day. I was writing at the cafĂ© when the manager came over to me. “I just got an email from a friend of yours from Nashville who wants to buy your book.

Figure of Eight
When I told my daughter that I feel freer having this novel out in the world, no longer struggling to decide what it wants to be because it just is, she asked what I feel freer to do now. What a marvelous question! I told her I want to think on that. Obviously, novel numberContinue reading “Figure of Eight”

Is February the new January? :-)
Hey, friends! I took yesterday off from blogging. It was a topsy-turvy weekend, so I worked from early in the morning until about 1 p.m. on a project yesterday, then cooked for the week and vegged the rest of the day. In the middle of my project, I apologized to my hubby and said IContinue reading “Is February the new January? :-)”
Dreams of Sun Tea and Writing Outdoors…
Good morning! Thank you to today’s sharer on my virtual book tour, The Momma Spot. I’ve been making sun tea all my life, it seems. The recipe is in the drink’s name, but the result is summer in a glass. Since I promise in the book description that Southern-Fried Woolf has plenty of sweet tea,Continue reading “Dreams of Sun Tea and Writing Outdoors…”
