Nantucket Winter

The temperature hit -2 here yesterday so there was ice in the harbor. I didn't go out to take photos. I'm working on my 2024 novel, and planning a pub party for my 2023 novel, All the Days of Summer, out May 3rd.
Winter's a perfect time for writing. Also, for reading all day long while eating chocolate.

“The universe is always speaking to us. ... Sending us little messages, causing coincidences and serendipities, reminding us to stop, to look around, to believe in something else, something more.”

“The most terrible thing about marriage, I suppose, is that we know and understand each other’s weaknesses and fears as much as we know our strengths and desires.”
