Happy Hello Dear Readers,

Two more old and beautiful trees in our back yard have met their final destiny. I wasn’t really over the summer loss of our huge clump maple. All makes for a bit of nostalgia. I suppose I’ll get over it.

Meanwhile, I invite you to come to my AuthorsDen at http://www.authorsden.com/rosemarieskaine. I’ve posted a few poems since I last wrote about my poetry in a Newsletter. I’ve also added the table of contents and an excerpt to each of my book postings (except my yet to be published book on female genital mutilation (FGM)). I've added to my blog. Please stop by these and other places on my AD site and post a comment if you wish.

This period of time is a much welcomed reprieve. My draft of my index for the FGM book is complete and I await my page proofs. The proofs should arrive around the end of March.

I’m still thinking about a new book topic.

Cheers! R
