I'm initiating a monthly newsletter to reach out to you, my readers, so I can share with you all kinds of information and insights—from angst to excitement—about writing and reading.

The newsletter will be a way to share insights about writing from other authors as well as links to interesting articles, podcasts, and books about the writing life. It will include news about what I'm doing and reflections from my journals. 

It will also be a way for me to update you about the spring publication of my forthcoming memoir, Word for Word: A Writer's Life. 

If you sign up for the newsletter, I'll mail you a free autographed, hardback copy of my gardening memoir, Four Tenths of an Acre: Reflections on a Gardening Life. Click on the title to learn more about the book.
