		<description><![CDATA[Not long ago, I decided to try to use YouTube to promote my second book, “Meeting Darkness.” How to use a video to advertise a book? The mind boggles – or at least, mine did. At first. Eventually, however, I decided on the idea of a slideshow – pictures from Chatham, MA (the inspiration for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My husband and I didn&#8217;t experience much of the most traumatic event in our nation&#8217;s history firsthand. This is as close as we got (I wrote this essay just days after), and it was close enough. God rest the souls of those who lost their lives that day. We saw the twin towers of the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Watership Down&#8221; is one of my favorite books of all time &#8211; and I believe there&#8217;s a lot of wisdom in it too, assuming you can get past the whole &#8220;but they&#8217;re rabbits&#8221; thing. I even think it&#8217;s relevant to the current business setting. Here are some thoughts I had about the main character&#8230; Has there [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Unless you’re a drug kingpin or a Real Housewife of Wherever, chances are you live in a normal-sized house and don’t need roller skates to navigate your faux-Italian-granite floors. In other words, you’ve settled. I’ve gotten pretty interested in residential real estate lately. I’ve spent a number of weekends helping to get my mother’s house [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Remember those kits we had as children? A box of watercolors or crayons or even magic markers (belated apologies to my mother on that last one), a black and white drawing of a princess or a field of horses&#8230; all we had to do was follow the diagram, and soon there would be a four-color [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Open letter to my next (fictional) victim: sorry, but there&#8217;ll be no midnight call from the governor granting you a last-minute reprieve. Despite the fact that an interview subject helpfully suggested not long ago that I change my intent (because a similar victim was featured in a 20-year-old mystery novel), I&#8217;ve decided against it.

		<description><![CDATA[Wish I had some. I&#8217;ve been dragging my feet on admitting it, but for the next two months (at least), I&#8217;m probably not going to have much chance to write. Not to get all &#8220;economic woes&#8221; on you, but they laid off a bunch of people from my company recently (including my boss), and since the Powers That [...]]]></description>
