After many years as a newspaper columnist for our local Puna News, I began to write a mystery novel situated in the lower Puna area where I live. It is now published in a Kindle version.

This piece is my first foray into a more memoir style of writing. My desire is to show the meandering of the mind of a person who has lived long and well, and is coming into a new era of her life.
