  Re the technical disaster I was plagued with last week (both the computer and printer decided to quit) which prevented the Lyrical Pens post, I can now claim success. A new printer, three desktop computers (two were dead on arrival), and a two-hour visit from Geek Squad later has me up and running…I hope for a very long time.  

 

  I have to say, honestly, I was kind of grateful I didn’t have a computer available to me so I could play solitaire for hours on end (I’m guilty). I really did spend the last week slowly reading the 26 tributes to classic novels, short stories, and poems in the CLASSICS PIECES RETOLD anthology. 

  What a treat. 

  This anthology is one of the Mobile Writers Guild best productions. I found the variety of author voices awesome and heartily recommend the pieces to you.

  You can order your own copies through The Haunted Book Shop https://www.thehauntedbookshopmobile.com/contact-us , a Mobile indie bookshop, or from your favorite book seller.

  That’s it for today’s post. You-all guys keep on keeping on, and I’ll try to do the same. Raising prayers for your health and safety.
