		<description><![CDATA[Writing, writing, writing.  I get busy and forget about the blog.  Polishing is going well and with luck, I&#8217;ll be done by early next week.  Then comes the scary part: sending it out. My next step in this process is sending the manuscript to agents.  I believe in having an agent.  They know the industry [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I thought I&#8217;d try a new start to the blog this year.  A resolution or a goal?  Depends on the interpretation.  It will be a place to put a few thoughts on the always interesting and often frustrating process of writing a book. To bring everyone up to date: I am in the final stages [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My friends, Mary and Barbara, decided to ask their book club to read my April book, An Unexpected Father. They also wanted me to speak at their monthly meeting. I was intrigued—and flattered—by the idea, and a date was set. Afterward, I had an attack of “oh, what have I done.” This group tends towards [...]]]></description>

With cameras glued to their faces (and earbuds blocking any outside noises), the gawkers are oblivious to those of us who live here. We edge around [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Do you love flowers? I do. This time of the year is bliss, especially after such a long, snowy winter. The bloom in Philadelphia has begun: daffodils, tulips, crocus, hyacinth. Even the trees are getting into the act as the cherry blossoms begin to cast a cotton-candy-pink haze over the neighborhood. Soon there will be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My mother has a tradition at Thanksgiving. We all hold hands, the meal spread before us on the table, and tell everyone assembled what we’re thankful for this year. When I was a kid, this made me cringe. First, the tradition made sure everyone was staring at me—horrifying when I was a self-conscious teenager. Second, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Do you get nervous? I do. Public speaking, flying, and being in a gale on my sailboat: all moments when my pulse speeds up. Lucky for me, I don’t have too many outward signs of my inward trepidation. To an innocent bystander, I can seem perfectly calm, cool and collected. Inside, an 8.2 earthquake shakes [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last Friday I moved my sailboat into a small marina in Annapolis, Maryland. It’s one of a dozen or more marinas that crowd the shores of Back Creek. When you step off the docks, you are in the Eastport neighborhood—known locally as the Maritime Republic of Eastport. A less-touristy area than Annapolis proper, Eastport has [...]]]></description>
