The Beach, a Book, and Some Favorite Things
My very best memories of the beach were from when I was an about 15. I had just discovered an entire set of Anne Rice novels in the house where we were staying, and I took book after book to the beach and read them all. With the waves in the background, and the softContinueContinue reading “The Beach, a Book, and Some Favorite Things”

What’s in a Name?
“Why did you choose the name Colorful Swans Press, and what does it mean? Do you just really like swans? Or was it a totally random thing?” I’ve been asked this question a few times this week, all from seemingly unrelated people and at totally different times.

A Book and a Spring Day
Growing up one of my favorite things to do was grab a book and head outside. It was very rural where we lived, and there was plenty of space to find a spot under a tree to relax and read. The grass was green, and the breeze was cool. The only sounds were the whispersContinueContinue reading “A Book and a Spring Day”
What We Read this Week: Perfectly Pegasus
