Sometimes I Can See You...

About the Book

Sometimes I Can See You is a life affirming multi-generational tale. Some parts are made up while combining with a realistic memoir of a real person long involved in the art world. far from being a family memoir, though it is that, these are luminous fragmentary tales of strong women and how they reacted to the men in their lives, sometimes disastrously but often strengthening. Plus a vivid journey back into 18th century colonial life in Virginia and a visit told with great immediacy to a small Ohio town in the 19th century which are intricately intertwined. The writing carries teh freshness of watercolor paintings with warm hearted view of life itself with all its fragility, losses, triumphs, and happiness.

About the Author

I'm late in returning to creative writing; maybe because of that, there is a lot of satisfaction and delight in doing it. Started off as a writer, coming from a writing family including Eudora Wellty, it seemed the thing to do. I hve been writing all my life, but took several detours, using PR writing for journalist articles and then when I ran my art gallery, Plums Contemporary Arts, press releases. Much of this was published in Washington, D.C., wrote a newsletter on social legislation and later at Stanford as assistant director of the Medical School News Bureau. More recently have taken several writing courses on from the Summer Arts Program at Fresno State, a jewel of an experience, requiring commitment and effort, but what rewards!
