Moonrise over Holt Park (Wonder if there were any parking there!).

The moon rose up from the east Wednesday night in clear skies, as eastward-bound clouds slid by and under April’s brilliant full moon, giving it a soft pillowy look.  It would have been an amouring setting (rising?!) to watch the submarine races–well, that’s what we use to call it on Neshoto Beach in Tw2 Rivers looking out over Lake Michigan at stupendous moonrises!

Kelly Lake’s very own, Jane J. Delveaux, published author!

Biography of Joe Ostrenger-Outlaw turned miner/geologist

I’ve sat with Jane J. Delveaux on many occasions enjoying conversation about many things.  I’ve had the opportunity and joy of joining her and her late husband, Howard–a fun person to be with, flying out of the Pulaski airport over Kelly Lake.  Howard absolutely loved flying as much as I love sailing–there’s a story of Howard’s life and death; doing what he loved most to the end.  As I said, that’s another story.

Jane and I shared our enjoyment of writing.  I bow to her literary prowess and writing artistry.  She’s been published before in magazines and journals, but I can see the excitement, eagerness and gratification of this accomplishment.  Narrating her amazing true story of adventure of a particular family member, she’s left me eager to read it–I’ve ordered my copy.  She’s been a great inspiration to me,  so much so, that after a three year break/sabbatical from my own pet-project, my novel–over half done, her inspiration and publishing suggestions have motivated me again.

I’ve known Jane all my life; yes, sixty-one years.  At 72, she’s fulfilled her dream of publishing a book the community will feel close to… she’s one of our own.  I won’t elaborate nor expound on her book, “Win Some/Lose some”; you can read about her story and peruse her own recently developed web site for inspiration for your own aspirations to write at  http://www.wanabwriters.com/.
