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.

Howling for Madyson Middleton
At 8:30 pm, as the moon rose, everyone was to howl like a wolf for Madyson Middleton,the child murdered in Santa Cruz this week, for she loved wolves, The canyon where I live echoed with howls, as if a hundred packs of wolves had gathered, all our neighborhood taking part. Thistle and I howled at the top of our lungs; a small gray owl and a bat flew just over our heads. Goodbye, little girl, goodbye; may our voices carry you down the river of light.
