My essay, "Unexpected Harvest," is included in the
latest issue of Hamilton Stone Review. The
magazine's guest editor for this issue is Meredith
Sue Willis, a native from WV, now living in NJ. She
dedicated this entire issue to all WV writers. You
can read the essay in the issue listed under Stories
and Nonfiction. Click on the link above and listen to
it. Do read the other WV writers' pieces. It's a superb
issue.

I perform a historical character, Frances B. Johnston,
for the West Virginia Humanities Council, in their
History Alive! program. Frances was a famous
photographer at the turn of the last century. She
photographed the famous and captured history as it
was happening. She was proud to be a
self-supporting woman in a traditionally male
occupation. Her photographs endure as art and as
documentation of current events and personalities of
her day. NEXT PERFORMANCE August 26 AT THE WEST
VIRGINIA Bureau of Public Debt (in the park next
