Yesterday was the first day of autumn, but I have a hard time wrapping my mind around that.  Here on the island, the temperature still is up in the low 90s.  Down here fall is just a little cooling from the summer.  I hear people talk about missing the change of seasons that they went through […]

Look to the East Review

Wednesday, September 16th, 2009

 Once again I was not able to get this review up with the first chapter.  I do apologize.  It sometimes takes me longer to read a book than I think it will since I began running over to the mainland five nights a week. This was definitely a book I’m glad that I read.  I’ve not […]
