Mid-Week Field Notes | May 19, 2021

Three quick things this week:

• My contemporary YA novel in verse has finally been sent out into the world. It lingered with my agent for months. It’s been called “gritty.”
• Working hard on a new short story for my Displaced Person collection. No plot yet, although an idea came to me for the ending this morning.
• May 27, at 6 pm ET: “It’s Personal: Grandchildren Carry the Legacies of Their Holocaust Survivor Grandparents.” Two speakers representing 3GNJ and 3GNY address how their grandparents’ narratives shaped their own lives. The Zoom event is hosted by the Mercer Holocaust, Genocide & Human Rights Center.  RSVP to HGHRCenter@mccc.edu
