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.

Editorial concerning the Asha Veil case
I was re-reading my Valley Press this evening after a marvelous day of writing with a dear friend. I don't know why I missed this particular article. It is on Page 6 of this week's Valley Press--again, you need Acrobat Reader or a program that can read .pdf files to access it, but it is well worth it. I concur with a lot of the frustration expressed in the article. As I said yesterday, I feel that a break is coming in this case. I hope so.
