The Revenge of Shaken & Stirred

Gwenda Bond: YA author, writer of other things, and possible escapee from a screwball comedy. This is yet another place I put things online. Find out more at my home territory or stick a pin in the twitter map. My first novel is BLACKWOOD, a modern take on the Lost Colony of Roanoke Island (available now). Next up are THE WOKEN GODS (Sept. 2013) and GIRL ON A WIRE (summer 2014).

I will happily try to answer Asks. Just drop them via the Magic 8 Ball (aka Ask) at the top of the page. And shake.

From a letter, May 1991.

“I expect your house in Aurora Terrace really feels like home now. But houses can be altered so easily. I have just acquired a puppy and it makes me think of the house differently, as a series of dog places and non-dog places, depending on the time of day. Nothing stands still for long, even when it has foundations and four walls.”

Please do yourself a favor and read the remembrance written by brilliant writer Elizabeth Knox about another brilliant writer, her friend, Margaret Mahy. (Confession: It made me cry.)

The above is from a letter Mahy wrote to her.
