I'm spending most of my updating life on Facebook these days - for some reason that seems so much easier. Another reason for the contined silence is that there hasn't been much to report. I've been writing - a lot. This fall I finished a novel, a play, and...

Liberation

Post Dearth
I haven't posted in, what, three months? But not for lack of material. There's theatre news, and book news, and more theatre news, and family news, and so forth. But I've been joyfully in the weeds of the Roman book, which we're calling COLOSSUS for...
