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.

Fun Night
Tonight was my troupe leader Siwa's beautiful birthday party at the Crepe Place, a local venue which also hosts bellydance shows. There was a wonderful cake, rituals, lots of good food, and laughter, as always. Between the witches, bellydancers, drag queens, and the sudden rainstorm which nearly drowned out the (excellent) chocolate cake, it was a fun and festive night. I wore a glittery multicolored butterfly mask, my violet velvet medieval princess dress, purple and black striped tights, and purple lace gloves, ruffled at the wrist. I almost tried absinthe for the first time, but decided against it. Tired now, goodnight.
