Welcome to Reading, Writing and Other Things
My two favorite things are Reading and Writing and you will find plenty of
examples of that as you wander around from area to area.

Literary Matters:
As a member of the Bronte Society for about 25 years, don't be surprised
to find a number of essays and articles I have authored about the famous
sisters and their novels.  

Reading:
Book Reviews:
During the time a spent writing book reviews for Recorder Publishing, I
got into the habit of making notes in the margins of the books I was
reading and continue the practice to this day.  I cannot seem to read
without a pencil in my hand - needless to say, electronic books will never
work for me - so I continue to make comments about what I'm currently
reading and you will find them in the Literary Review section.

Good Reads:
Under this heading you will find some of the new and old fiction and
non-fiction that I have found enjoyable, entertaining and instructive and am
comfortable recommending .

Writing:
Non-fiction - The essay corner
Under this heading you will find my other essays and columns that I have
been writing on the Economy, Banking, Politics, Business, History, General
Interest and Other Things.  I began all of this with the colums I started
contributing to the
Beaufort Gazette about 10 years ago and continued with
the work I did (and -occassionaly -  continue to do) for ToTheCenter.com.
NOTE:  There are between 75 and 100 of these so bear with me as I get
them organized and loaded.

Fiction:
Sidney Lake:
What is happening with Sidney Lake?  The professor and amateur sleuth is
doing his best to stay alive and well.  The novel is in re-write and the first
of a series of short stories is currently with Alfred Hitchcock Mystery
Magazine

Reading, Writing and Other Things - The BLOG:
Yes, I'm adding a blog and will give y'all a chance to keep me honest as
well as a look at what I'm up to.

Writing:
In the writing category a new
essay had been loaded in the
category: Politics

This essay was written when
Secretary of State Clinton was
campaigning for the Democrat
Party nomination for president.  
It looks at the various places in
the world where women are
now,  or have been, leaders of
their country and explores the
possible reasons the United
States is not among them
