what dies inside us while we live."

Snownadoes and Nonesuch

It was 31 degrees today, and blustery. It snowed all afternoon, but not much here. There are lots of weird words made up for snow events, like snownado, which has no entry in the dictionary.

Nonesuch is in the dictionary but it has nothing to do with snow or weather really. It means a person or thing without equal. Ir's pretty archaic.

NESSA'S NEWS

February & Speed Dating

Nicky's spring grass.

I love the idea of giving an invading enemy flower seeds 

so something beautiful will grow when they die on your land.

February went by so fast and with about as much substance as a speed dating event.

This month's Nessa's News will go out tonight. To see what I looked like at sixteen, subscribe to my newsletter.

A few other tidbits:

What did medieval Bavarians call February?

What is the oldest documented German pagan spell?

What to do to celebrate March? (No green beer. Sorry.)

I love the idea of giving an invading enemy flower seeds 

so something beautiful will grow when they die on your land.

Author Attention - Michael R. Stern

 

Michael R. Stern is funny and smart and tells a good story. Well, actually, he's got nine stories he's told so far.

Reflections on a Generous Generation, published in 2012, is the story of Michael's father, Murray Stern, and is both memoir and history.

The Quantum Touch series is six books, all with Storm in the title. You can read my review of StormPortal over at Nessa's Book Shelf. Personal drama, world history, and time travel come together in a perfect storm (see what I did there?)

And just to prove his versatility, Sarah and the Dragons, is a fantasy fairy tale about being different.

You can find all of Michael's books on his Amazon Author Page.
