Clicking
on this beautiful Sargent painting will take you to Arias,
Riffs & Whispers, Words Written for Voices,
the book that sets the imagery for this site and sends into
the world private writing I (the aforementioned Ann Medlock)
have been doing for decades. You’ll find sample pages,
feedback from readers, and a way to order it, should you be
so moved.
If you’re not already a friend,
Bio
may tell you if this site is of interest to you.
Try News
for to-come events, passing observations, or works-in-progress.
It’s an ongoing blog so there’s no telling what
may be there on any given day.
Works
will take you to past articles, public radio commentaries,
and speeches I’ve written and/or given, and to a few
articles of which I seem to be the subject.
Leads
is where you’ll find people and works that inspire me
and that may prove valuable to you as well.
This site isn’t here to be
a one-way communication—one of my greatest joys is the
reverberations that come echoing back from these “rose
petals dropped in a canyon.” I urge you to make
contact.
 A NEW BOOK
The novel I’ve been calling Walking the Mermaid is done, though it’s now mutated into The Mermaid’s Tale; A Novel of Love, Fear, & Misogyny.
It’s being printed in both hardback and paperback, each just over 400 pages (and I cut a lot). As you can see, it’s gorgeous to look at, so even if you don’t read novels you might want a copy sitting around just to stare at.
Dromnavarna Press is a boutique publishing operation so the runs of this “beta edition” are small—and pricy. Hardbacks are 30 bucks, paperbacks are 20. (Forget the .95 or .99 nonsense—like we’re too dumb to know it means a buck.)
If you’re thinking of gifts, be warned: a few parts of the novel are x-rated. You might not want to give it to someone who’s easily shocked. You can sample a snippet here (it’s PG).
The publication party/reading is on Whidbey Island November 12. You’re invited. Email for details. If you’re close enough to make the party or to stop by my office in Langley let me know. Your books will await you, with no shipping charges. Otherwise, use this handy PayPal route to getting your copies~
