Oh, you always challenge me, dear friend! And is the 'darkness' you are now aware of part of an Irish past?

I feel the exact same way about the time change. With the change in lighting, I feel like I can breathe. Ah.

Love the cover! Will order as soon as I type the period to this sentence.

It's a weird thing, the time change. I definitely feel it in my body. Thanks for ordering!!

Me too! “A sweet loneliness” — that’s it exactly. Thank you for ordering my book. xoxo

Loved the cover. Ordered 2. No delivery to Canada, but I sent it to someone who will send it on to me. Love these November evenings when it gets dark before dinner. It's a sweet loneliness that I have always loved. Don't know why.

Love the cover! Can’t wait until it comes out! Congratulations! I’ve grown very fond of big black crows. They’re extremely smart. I just read they have regional dialects.

Such an interesting perspective. It is during the long California summers that I feel deep loneliness. With the early darkness I feel just right.

Thanks Julie! That's so cool about crows' dialects. I had no idea.

LOVE the cover, Martha! Gorgeous. Congrats! Your description of a perfect November evening would be perfect in Texas, too.

Writing prompt: It wasn’t a shadow. It was a chicken!

P.S. I had a dream over a decade ago that I was a kid again in the 60s, in the house I grew up in, home alone at night, and I heard a noise in the dark. No lights on, just shadows. And it was a chicken! True story!

Chickens are scary!! I love this story. Thanks for your kind words about the cover!
