CNN had a bit of trivia on famous writers today, from which I learned a thing or two.
For example, Charles Dickens had two pet ravens, one of which was rumored to be the inspiration for the poem by Edgar Allen Poe. This particular raven, upon its demise and entrance to Raven Paradise, was stuffed and can be seen today "at the Free Library of Philadelphia's Rare Books Department, where he stands guard over the Poe and Dickens collections."
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.
