THE SONG
For the longest time–ok, years–I thought the Battlefield Band song Darien was about one of those tragic battles the Scots lost to the English. I made my sons listen to the song. I mooned over the sadness of it. I admitted to myself that I loved it to pieces. Then, when I learned what it…

An Occupying Force, A War Bride, and the Fog of Translation
I read a lot of genres: history, mystery, fantasy, and science fiction. Science fiction is really my first love, but I’m no fan of nasty, whiny, possibly evil main characters.
