MY LATEST RELEASE
AN UNPRESENTABLE GLORY
Linda Jensen leads a relatively quiet life in Westchester County, New York, as the owner of a highly-acclaimed garden. Inherited from her parents, the garden is her pride and joy. What is not so joyful is finding a strange man sprawled near her delphiniums! The mysterious man is sick, unable to do anything more than drink water—and beg for secrecy. Ignoring all alarm bells, Linda sees to his needs, but her caring act takes on unexpected significance, an unpresentable glory.

30,000 Days and Counting
My son called me early Tuesday morning to be the first to wish me a Happy 30,000th-day Birth Day. Funny—nobody ever wished me a 10,000th or 20,000th birthday. How old would I have been on those days? My calculator tells me the first would make me roughly 27 years old,...
Building Things—Bits of Glory
NEARLY 50 YEARS AGO, we built our house. Ourselves. Hammer, skill saw, nail pullers to undo mistakes. Learned as we went. Slow, hard work that became hazardous to my health. Stress and overwork sent me to the doctor. Long story there, but misdiagnosis and wrong...
