My name is Joan McMillan and this blog is, as Emily Dickinson says, "my letter to the world." I am currently working on a nonfiction book about the murder of a young woman, Asha Veil, born Joanna Dragunowicz, and her unborn daughter, Anina, on September 9, 2006. My book is meant to honor her life and illuminate the need to create a safer world for women and children.

Be-Leaf
My talented friend and fellow nanowrimo participant Miles has written and published a book (which he wrote during Nanowrimo). It's set in the Pacific Northwest and deals with environmental activism, dance, and a treesit, not all in that order--and much more, too! Click on the title to visit his page on Amazon.
Nanowrimo (National Novel Writing Month) is coming up, by the way, starting November 1st!
And congratulations to Miles, a hardworking writer (and a highly accomplished musician and composer as well)!

Heh, just kidding
Anyway, I have been given a comp class and creative writing again for next semester. 2 different preps, but I'm fine with it all.
I'm about to embark on my second nanowrimo novel in November; this is the second in a three part series set in Santa Cruz. This novel will veer from the romantic comedy of the first book, and will be a suspense and mystery story (with humor thrown in, of course).
So for the time being, all is good. Just a check-in to let everyone know I'm still among the quick.
