I do hope you’re enjoying some great summer reads. Want to download storytellers to your iPod? I highly recommend a number of free podcasts:  Selected Shorts,  New Yorker Fiction Podcasts and The Moth. Check them out! 

I’m currently reading Lynn Freed’s The Servants Quarters–it is fabulous! I also highly recommend: Alice McDermott’s After This,  Elizabeth Benedict’s The Practice of Deceit. I finally read John Updike’s Rabbit, Run. What you have been reading? Do tell!    

Be sure to check out recent writing by some Lakeshore Writers: Downhill All The Way and The Workshop — a poem about Lakeshore Writers and being daring! Well done and Congrats!  And kudos to my friend Bridget Hoida’s whose debut novel: SoLA has just come out. It’s a wild, snappy ride. A laugh out loud read, perfect for summer!  Let me know of your successes,  classes and stories you’ve enjoyed.
