PORTRAITS AND TALES OF THE GREEN WOMAN

 

Indeed I'm one of the Green Women writers contributing to Brian Froud's fabulous (in every sense of the word) book. My piece is an eerie little fairy tale that's likely to lead to my being NEVER asked to babysit small children. (Is it my fault fairies steal children and drown them? Is it? Up the airy mountain, down the rushy glen ...) The book is out in October of this year with Abrams NY. They published my 4-book series The Chronicles of Faerie with gorgeous shimmery covers, in hardcover and paperback. I love Brian Froud's work and I've got lots on my bookshelves. Also admire Wendy Froud and the other writers who contributed, many of whom I know and have met over the years. #BrianFroud #WendyFroud #Faerie #Fairies 

THE DEEP ROAD TO SANTIAGO

DONE! FINALIZADA! My travel memoir about walking the Camino de Santiago completed at last! It's written in the Japanese style of haibun - lyrical passages of prose accompanied by haiku - specifically designed by its creator, Matsuo Basho, the father of haiku, to write of his walking pilgrimages around 17th century Japan. My title is homage to his most famous haibun OKU NO HOSOMICHI (The Narrow Road to the Deep North). 

"Their journeying is life, their journeying is home."
