Since the “stats” indicate lots of new readers here, I encourage you, if you have not already done so, to check out my novel-in-progress. Its working title is, “Anna Hansdatter: Hunger In the Dale.” It is very loosely based on a few of the real people and events written of here. If you are already following it, disregard. I am suffering from a combination of writer’s block, spring (gardening), a temporary full-time job, and other distractions, so am not putting up any new episodes for a while. However, there are already over 100 “episodes,” each approximately 1-2 pages of manuscript, available for your perusal. My “stats” over there are pitifully small so far, so do your part, and “read up.”
