On
death and dying…
In 2001 I was among nine writers and artists chosen to spend time with terminally ill patients at Hospice Austin's Christopher House. Here's an essay about the experience that ran in the Austin American-Statesman.
This lead to my novel-in-stories EVACUATION PLAN, now out. You can order a copy from Amazon.com.
Evacuation Plan
Great-great-grandmother
was squatting in an outhouse, knickers to her knees, when lightning struck and
ended it all. No warning; no time to prepare for the big sendoff. Ally Ally all come free. She twists the oxygen tube into a coil,
hides her chocolate eyes behind the plastic. For her it will be different. She
has an evacuation plan.
