Holly

Wrote 5 new stories lately. This is the start of one of them: It's true that Buddy Holly is back, living in a boarding house about twenty minutes from the Canadian border. It's cold; it's not Lubbock, Texas. It took a while to get used to the new surroundings and the new body. And finding a guitar was essential as a seedling feeling for the sun. She had to have one. Holly got her first guitar when she was six. She heard the Beatles on the radio and played along. Everyone said she was a natural.

Here's another illustration from the paperboy novel. (This is our son's cheapo guitar, the glue gave out, but it sounds great! John Cage in a coffee can).

Harpo Lives!

Readers of my book Imaginary Someone will know that I was living in that mighty strange metropolis New York City for a while. One night I was at the infamous Blue & Gold which had a pool table and all of a sudden, down the stairs clattered Harpo Marx on rollerskates!! (You could say it was someone perfectly dressed as him, raincoat and top hat, but the apparition was so out of the blue and wonderful I know it was really him). He slid up to the startled guy playing, grabbed the cue stick and took a shot at a ball and before anyone could say a word, he clunked back up the steps and zoomed away. This really happened! The world is more beautifully mysterious than meets the eye.

I'm working on getting 3 new books to the printer for you. This is a scene from the paperboy book. Our hero is guided deep into the woods by the chirping of a sparrow.

Eclipse

We were visiting Eclipse Books and noticed one of my books Bowl of Water next to old Robert Frost.
