Forthcoming writing projects include The Dream Journal, a creative collection of anecdotal remembrances from my years of teaching experience that explores their application to the contemporary teacher's mission. I'm also pleased to announce the publication this fall of Tales With Tales from Pen & Rose Press, a collection of nine short stories from nine writers new to Harlin Jacque that includes my own new tale, "The Lion and the Man," which like Anthony Ant and Grady Grasshopper, is a expression of my deep and continuing interest in fable-based storytelling and oral literature.

And here at Harlin Jacque Publications, we are pleased and proud to announce the incorporation of our new sister organization, the non-profit I've Known Rivers Press, which will focus on publishing the work of underserved communities of writers, including women writers, incarcerated writers, youth and elder writers.

This fall I have happily undertaken writing a regular column of poetry and musings for the new magazine created for women of color, Jolie. Look for me in their pages and on their website.

Love and realness,
