I deeply apologize for the December 2025 issue of AvantAppal(achia) still not being available. I have been sick since October. When the issue is released, we will announce a new schedule for the ezine to ensure all issues get the same time on the website. Thank you!

As of 2026, mass produced paperbacks no longer exist. (Classics sold cheaply for under $10 - this copy of Emily Brontë’s “Wuthering Heights” was originally $3.95 - and that fit in your pocket.) #booksky #literacy

My favourite reads of 2025 #booksky

Books I read and/or reviewed for the 2025 Notable Small Press Books article on Lithub. There were *many* readers and reviewers and a committee chose which books/reviews were included. See bio on Instagram for link. #100smallpress

You know you feel poorly when you cancel your doc appointment because you don’t have the energy to get dressed and leave the house. I promise the new is(sue) of AvantAppal(achia) is delayed for good reasons! Thank you all for your patience.

Please

This is note to say that I recently had a seizure, as I sometimes do, and had to take a few days off to recover. So the next is(sue) of AvantAppal(achia) which is scheduled for release on December 15, 2025 may be a little late this time. Thank you for your patience!

Ok. I officially hate 2025. R.I.P. Maritime Traveler, the last living son of Secretariat (out of Oceana by Northern Dancer). Foaled May 15, 1990, died July 27, 2025.

This is another project I’m editing. “Send Me Into A Different Ending” by Andrea Horowitz. We are in the final stages with this one. Publication date TBA. #poetry #booksky

#youtube #poetry

I’m an editor on this project. It’s a series of poetry collections that are a modern retelling (sort of) of Dante’s Divine Comedy. The first one should be coming out before the end of 2025. #poetry #booksky

New minireading! Fanny Howe tribute. #poetry #youtubechannel

These bookmarks are off to Belgium. (Thanks, sis, for the flowers! Go make those memories!) #jw #art

I am *not* enjoying this weather. I miss the 85 degree heat and all this constant rain hurts my arthritis like some kind of medieval torture method. But my native tigerlilies *love* it! I counted 39 blooms today. 😍

Mom unveiled several new paintings at her exhibition at Gray Gallery at Shawsville, VA. So I just added them to her website. They will be available to view in person at the Gallery (and to buy) all summer. www.maricajo.com #art

"From my attention to your Facebook, I know that you have high requirements for artistic level, and are even almost picky." - Yongbo Ma High praise, indeed! Thank you very much, my friend, that is one of the best compliments I've ever gotten. 🙂
