Welcome to my newly redesigned website. I love my new look! My artist son Rani painted the images in the banner. The couple on the right reminds me of this quote from Around the Circle Gently (see below for information about the book):

Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction.
(Antoine de Saint Exupéry)

The website is still a work in progress, so please be patient as we get more pages completed.

The second edition of Around the Circle Gently has finally been released! It has a beautiful new cover designed by Lynn's son John Moen, and additional material, but it still contains most of the wonderful quotations that the first edition had, plus some terrific new ones.

For years, I've been using quotes from the book to decorate this website and my occasional newsletters. Circle is truly a book of my heart, and I'm delighted that it's once again available for others to enjoy and take inspiration from.

Lynn Moen and I will be at the Book Publishers Network booth at the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Association Fall Tradeshow October 7-9, 2010. We'll have copies of the book to give away and hope to meet some of you.

We're exploring possibilities for other booksignings in the Puget Sound area. In the meantime, the aroundthecirclegently website will be up shortly! It will have articles about the authors, some additional writings by Lynn, and will be fun, amusing, and educational.

EMERALD CITY WRITERS CONFERENCE
On October 1-3, I'll be at the Emerald City Writers Conference in Bellevue, Washington. I look forward to seeing old friends and making new ones.
