Late November and early December have been extremely busy. I proofread SEEING JOY three times. Koehler Books held a cover poll. And the winner was …. the portrait of my mom, painted by a Russian émigré artist in Manhattan in the thirties, with gorgeous stars that really pop out in a lovely way. You can click over to BOOKS on this website for a look at the result. SEEING JOY is now available for preorder from Amazon, so that is where anyone interested in helping me out should go. I also have been preparing for my trip to Sweden. I’m off to see Sven on Christmas evening. It will be a new experience because I have never visited Sweden in winter. We are talking about a trip to the Arctic Circle here, so think cold, dark, snowy, and often battered by the north wind. But I’m all geared up for the challenge!
