Thanks to everyone who reads this blog for your patience in the last few months; I haven’t posted much because I was working on a big project. Now that I’m holding the hard copy, I can make the announcement: Academica Press has now published my first book, the culmination of 20 years of interviews with elderly people in rural Ireland.  

Most people here know that I spent decades in the countryside there raising a daughter and experimenting with  gardening, beekeeping, food preservation and self-sufficient crafts. I learned a lot from my neighbours, who grew up without modern technology in traditional communities, and pulled together hundreds of interviews, memoirs, diaries and other sources to create a picture of a sustainable, old-fashioned world.  

I’ll be posting excerpts of the book here over the next several months, as well as on my blog, on my web site and in magazines articles. I'll be working on an audiobook and will be doing speaking gigs about it, so contact me about that. In the meantime, if you’re interested, feel free to purchase a copy here.

Not all songs are from Disney movies

I did have to check to make sure it wasn’t in the Sing movies.

New comic!

Today's News:

She asked for photos "to make sure they're real." Imagine if she only looked at the photos after she ranked the top ten dates.


"Ah, nuts, this one's a robot. Disqualified. This one's just a photo of the floor. Disqualified. This one's a... horse? Disqmmmmaybe."

Here's the original post! Here's your chaser post! And here's your end-of-the-week reminder that I'll be at Firestorm Books in Asheville tomorrow from 3-6! Come say hi!
