Thank you, Ray. I would have to say that in my case, the
old cliche that when God closes a window He/She opens a
door would be true. Although these last five years have
been the hardest of my life, the impact of a disease that
shattered my everyday existence has also led to some
accomplishments, however bittersweet. And I am certainly
not alone. I see this over and over again when I attend PWP
events.
Re: October Mourning, my first Kendall book about the
mystery-solving psych nurse with PD, it is still floating
around, available on internet sites like Barnes&Noble and
Amazon, and I would be honored if you included it in your
newsletter. I used my "pen" name, Loren Chaucer, which is
an anagram for-who else?-Carole Hercun. I did write a
second Kendall book ,a sequel, which
still sits in my desk drawer. No publisher. As does the
prequel I am working on.
The photography you mentioned led to a interest in digital
art, which I started to experiment with a few years ago.
Many of my prints are showcased on the website I have
struggled to develop for what seemed like forever, and
coincidentally should be online in a matter of days. I
hesitate to mention www.frankensteingraphicdesign.com as it
is a commercial site,but as the Frankie behind FGD, I would
like you to visit and just look at the pictures. They
represent my triumphs  over a direction for what is left of
my life I never would have chosen, but now pursue.
Take good care,
Carole Hercun
