The last few years I have not been able to write blogs as my focus was in completing my second novel, THE STING OF ABSENCE (spanning three centuries it tells the story of Fleur, a ten year old girl who survived the Acadian Expulsion, living out her days as Cajun in the Louisiana bayou); creating another radio/audio play, A CONVERSATION WITH AN OVARY (about PCOS, polycystic ovarian syndrome, featuring Lydia E Pinkham who sold a botanical patent medicine for women’s ills in the 19th century) and now a handbook on SURVIVING AN INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC. We also had a fun run of Meshugeneh, the Musical at the Whitefire Theatre in Sherman Oaks and have continued having our children’s musical presented through LAUSD. Finally my first novel is available as well at Vroman’s Bookstore in Pasadena.

I am excited to get back to writing blogs and I am starting with influenza. But first I want to thank Avi Gross, Maurice Gainen, Jeffrey Feldman, Max Mitchell, Kristina Carlson, Aaron Lyons, Florence Riggs, Barbara Brighton and Goreti da Silva for their talent on my first radio play, DR GRAVES, WE HAVE YOUR DISEASE (on my website) and/or A CONVERSATION WITH AN OVARY. I love having fun while sharing state-of-the-art knowledge!!
