Walt Whitman knew the dangers of following fools and tyrants. Here he is warning us to Question Authority. I always liked the quote, but since the election i wanted a constant reminder so I had it tattoed on my calve.

I've been trying to shake my possessions and have a smaller "snail shell," but I can't seem to give up my books. I'm down to four shelves: three fiction and one nonfiction. I'm going to share the list of authors below from shelf one. Maybe this will help me lose the feeling that they have to stay with me the rest of my life, even though I've read some repeatedly and probably won't again.

Today’s the day!

Aroostook Dreams is out in the world.

This story was shaped by so many hands — friends, family, strangers with stories of their own — and rooted in a place I’ll always call home.

My hope is that when you turn these pages, you’ll feel a little of that Maine magic: the hush of pines at twilight, the tug of a river current, the old tales that rise up when we gather close.
