Madam Mayo

Ye olde main blog, which offers updates on my publications, podcasts, workshops & more and whatever catches my fancy (and that ranges from literary translation to Mexican history to squirrel haberdashery). I began it back in the Pleistocene, that is, 2006 when the poet E. Ethelbert Miller sent me an email addressed to "Madam Mayo," which struck me as hilarious.

A once-in-a-while-on-Tuesdays blog to share my (copius) research and other information related to my novel set during the 1860s in Mexico-- that tumultuous period known as the Second Empire or French Intervention.

Reading Tolstoy's War and Peace

Finally, after numerous attempts, I tackled the behemoth in 2011. This blog, now closed but ever open for perusal, I kept for myself, for fellow W&P travelers past, present and future, and for my writing workshop students so they can see precisely what I mean by "reading as a writer."
