‘Daffodils that bloom before the swallows dare return from the south, and that charm the winds of March with their beauty…’ I haven’t seen any daffodils yet, but the winds of March are already quite refreshing.
I hope you are well
and safe. Hal and I get our first Covid-vaccination on Wednesday so we’re
feeling hopeful!
And
now, a promo for the book Shakespeare calling – the book. Indie
authors like myself need support more than ever when we cannot arrange book
signings and lectures. Therefore, sales are down drastically. I do so hope
you will help me by ordering the book online. Thank you.
The book is available
for those of you in Great Britain and parts of Europe on this site:
