Speculative Fiction About Dysfunctional Families

In the last three months preparing the manuscript of Harvesting Ashwood: Minnesota 2037 for advance reader distribution has absorbed the energy of a number of people. Thanks to Lynn Marasco for expert copy editing and Scott Hjulberg for another wonderful cover design.  This second book of the Ashwood trilogy will be released June 1, 2012.

Tomorrow I leave for Howth, Ireland for eight days of workshop with an amazing group of American and Irish writers including published poets, creative nonfiction and fiction writers as well as talented individuals on the brink of breaking into the literary world. Creativity will probably keep us too late at night. I expect to start something new while away.

You can read about the Howth workshop, other literary events and my writing world in my blog which is listed in the navigation menu or can be found at http://cynthiakraack.com/cynthias-blog/   Cynthia’s Blog is part of a new social media effort to connect more directly with readers and people interested in the world of writing. My goal is to post new material each Monday if not more frequently.

May the start of this new year bring the world peace.
