A Gift of Light & Love (for you)

The Chocolate Room, Brooklyn, NY (March 2009) (a black & white version of this photo appears in Lanterns)

They say the snow is a-comin' to these here parts this weekend. I plan to cozy up at home, baking, cooking, reading, and generally nesting. Whatever the weather in your part of the world, I hope these days are full of your favorite things.

As we approach the Winter Solstice, the longest night of the year, here's a small gift of light and love from me to you. Click below to hear me read an excerpt from Lanterns: A Gathering of Stories. This piece closes the book and is called "Lanterns: An Invitation."
