September 2024
…beauteous spring to yellow autumn turn’d…
And sadly, our thoughts still go Gaza.
One day, I hope to be able to quote something about peace, but again, sadly, I
repeat what I have repeated for far too long:
‘O war!
thou son of hell’ O
Putin! O Netanyahu! Thou sons of hell! Our thoughts and support are still
needed to the people of Gaza, and the people of Israel who hate the war.
Protest in any way you can! And don’t give up hope. ‘True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings.’
In this time of turmoil and hope I give you this familiar
promo for the book Shakespeare calling – the book. Indie authors like me always
need support, even now when book signings and lectures can again be scheduled.
Only on the Internet can I reach people like you, who are interested in
Shakespeare would like to support the Shakespeare Calling project. I do so hope
you will help me by ordering the book online. Any sales I make of
this book will go directly to Doctors without Borders for their work in Gaza Just let me know and
I’ll send the money forthwith. You can also order directly from me. Just write
me an email. Thank you.

- An ex-con relates how reading Shakespeare gave him awe and changed his life.
- In the novel Not Here to Be Liked by Michelle Quach, the high schoolers are assigned to act out a scene from Macbeth.
- In the novel After You’d Gone by Maggie O’Farrell, the main character is in a coma but wanders through her memories. She’s upset that she doesn’t remember the lines from King Lear.
