I enjoyed 'talking' with Kerri Fivecoat-Campbell for her K.C.'s Write For You blog. We discuss The Time of New Weather, touching on Zen, MFA's, Taos, Natalie Goldberg, and writing about the future. Check it out here. The new paperback cover of The Time of New Weather reminds me of Peter Sellers in one of my favorite movies - know which one I mean? What do you think of the cover?

I'm not even going to attempt my Russian name, except to say my first name has become WOH. (Woh is me...) NEW New Weather! Click and type in a question or comment Sean, I had no idea you had published four great books. What a great accomplishment. I'm proud of you brother! I hope you're well. Steve Brigham, Bowie, MD, sbrigham@americaspeaks.org Hi Sean, Somehow I ran into an old newsletter (a blessing so much needed). It was the one where you mentioned my Pacfic Sun publication. It made me cry, for just after that, the rug was pulled out from beneath me. The Char that you & everyone else knew was replaced by hundreds, maybe thousands of different "Char's", Charlene's, etc. and nothing & I mean nothing in my life was my own, even "the loo" if I happened to bring my phone in with me & my home, car became an echo chamber, singing, talking & other personal behaviors travelled through fiber optic devices, infrared images created & made their way to some deep black hole where everything that was me was collected, categorized & ???. No attempts to reach the world beyond my physical body worked for me, even web searches weee canned, and to my knowledge this has not changed much. we will see if this reaches you. I will try to find a way to connect with you and Tania - it is possible that a few avenues may now be open to me. Just hearing your familiar voice (clear, authentic, & undeniably yours) + that uniquely your own humor again, was like a breath of fresh ocean air. Also, hearing all of the good news & familiar names that tap the love & truth of my heart after so long - is indescribable. I will find a way to contact you & Tania soon. I live in Penngrove, CA at this time, and have an email that I cannot yet Access, that has not been jeopardized - muzebluze@sonic.net - I can receive mail at it stands now & we are working on opening the mail safely - so please send the letter there. Give everyone my congrats & love - it brought a song to my heart to hear of all of the successes. i love the new cover for Time.... Also, I got the sweetest image when I read about the current pet name for yor beloved & you in a frilly apron, tea tray & biscuits in hand, walking into the boudoir to serve the much deserving "Duke ..? her English tea. At any rate thank you, you can't know how hearing about my beloved writing pals has revived me. Much love, Char |
