A perfect day with Chen Chen, Michael Seidlinger, Andy Tran, my sweetie, and me… Going for a writer’s walk in the woods at Paul Smith’s College: the butterfly tent, the floating bridge, wild orchids, not getting lost or dying of blood loss to mosquitos! More from the Kettle Pond Writers’ Conference at Paul Smith’s College of the Adirondacks!



More from the Kettle Pond Writers’ Conference at Paul Smith’s College of the Adirondacks! Late night socializing on the deck over Lower St. Regis Lake, floating in on said lake, the book table and Ghost City Press, and watching geese do their geese thing!
