OYSTERHOOD is reclusiveness or solitude, or an overwhelming desire to stay at home.

No shouting at walls today, but a long day of work. Exhausted, again, but in a good way. A short sunny mid-morning walk with my love and our dinner the personal highlights of the day.

Literary highlight: the announcement of The Skipper’s Daughter by Nancy Richards – forthcoming from Karavan Press.

This project has been pure joy throughout. I had the pleasure of working on it with Nancy and Monique Cleghorn, and we had a lot of fun, no matter what challenges we encountered along the way.

Now, for a bit of tennis under the lights in Paris, and then sleep. Hopefully! Big yawn …

Be kind. Wear a mask. Support local.
