STANDING AT WATER'S EDGE is out! (eBook and audiobook coming soon) @McFarlandCoPub Just when we need a reminder to pay attention and stay grounded in the present.
Animal lovers unite.
Mark Longo has just revealed that the New York Department of Environmental Conservation euthanized his cherished pet squirrel, Peanut. This innocent creature was taken from him, where he had lovingly raised it since it was a baby, after its mother got hit by a car.
Mark used the squirrel’s viral popularity to raise funds for animal sanctuaries.
Imagine, without any legal basis like a search warrant, the government barged into his home, stole Peanut, and in just 48 hours, ended the life of this harmless, beloved pet.
Oh the stories they can tell, and maybe some will write about.
"It’s understandable that we want to save our children from encounters with material reality: with death or danger or manual labor. But they lose something essential when we do."
Don't miss this lovely essay from @larissaphillip for @TheFP

When a tree falls in the backyard of a writer, they not only hear it but write an essay about it. In Janice Post-White's "Life Uprooted," twin oak trees remind her of her twin brother and her own deteriorating body. @JPostWhite
