Welcome to the round up of posts you might have missed this week on Smorgasbord.
I hope you have had a great week… nothing much to report from here except for some progress made on my WIP Tales from the Irish Garden two… I will be focusing on this for the next few weeks and hope to have the book out in the spring.
An update on my soundcloud activities… my husband went ahead and subscribed for another year… so each week I will share some of the shorter recordings with you in the round up…I hope you enjoy… This one is a tribute to nature…Rain and the Wisdom of Trees. You can listen to all the other recordings Sally Cronin Soundcloud

Laura Lyndhurst explores the anamolies we find in books, in the theatre, television dramas and films.. and even in the classics. Clearly in many cases there has been little or no research with a ‘never let the facts get in the way of a good story’ approach.

Jennie Fitzkee shares a post about the power of reading aloud to children and in particular one student who years after leaving Jennie’s class is passing along that gift to his younger brother… another amazing story.

As we approach Halloween, Teri Polen is sharing her annual horror fest and this week Diana Wallace Peach joined her for an interview and responds to her question…Have you ever felt like there may be someone – or something – else in the room with you even though you’re alone?
