I give my deep thanks to the editors of Woodlands nature~magic~mystery~myth for including my poem “Lichen” and my essay “Lyme Ticks and Ladybugs” in this wondrous new anthology. A perfect tonic for the busy holiday season, Woodlands is now available on Amazon. Stoke the fire, curl up your sofa, and enjoy this treasury of nature writing.

Brava, Jean! I just bought a copy and looking forward to reading your work and the other writer’s pieces in this new book. Tis an early gift for me & a merry Christmastime, indeed!
Thank you, my beloved John. I can always count on you. Merry Christmas!
Beautifully written. I have read your book, also, Lost Sister. I am so sorry for what you and your sisters had to endured.
Thank you for this kindness. I believe we all are challenged growing up. It’s what you do with these lessons that matter. I am forever thankful for the unbreakable bond I have with my sisters. They are beautiful beings.
