First Blog Post

Hello…

This is my first blog post, so I would like to tell you about what I am thinking–and also, about two new books. This is a very exciting venture for me as I’m entering a new cyber world and talking to each of you. I plan to write once a week, probably on Monday evenings, and will welcome your questions in order to make this venture interactive.

So, what do I have in mind? For most of my life, I’ve been writing non-fiction–seven books on leadership in all–but have yearned to write fiction. When we moved to the north coast of California, The Sea Ranch, I gave myself this gift: the time to learn to write fiction and instill what I had learned into novels.

My first novel is Cairo Diary: an Egyptian fable, which will be out this month, March, 2010. I’m delighted with this first effort, part of a trilogy to be followed by Etruscan Evenings and Tao Sunrise. My husband and I lived in Cairo from 1989-1991 and returned six times to work with Egyptian schools, so Cairo Diary: an Egyptian fable reflects those times, delicious adventures, and wondrous relationships.

Women’s Ways of Leading, a non-fiction book of international scope, has been simmering in a pot for many years, starting with multiple studies on women’s leadership. These scrumptious years have been spent working with my colleague and friend, Mary Gardner, as we negotiated new horizons for women. This book was released in October, 2009, and is receiving rave reviews. Check it out at www.womenswaysofleading.com.

The themes of this website now, and my blog, are to re-imagine and connect new ideas on leadership and literature, my adventures in writing and education and much more. How will I do that? Read my second blog.

Wishing you wonderful learning today, Linda

    Welcome to the world of cyber interconnection, i am so glad you have decided to do this blog, as for me your living so far away is a sad thing, this way i can keep up to date with what you are up to at the same time as appreciating your great mind and even greater talent as a writer. We so enjoyed our all too brief encounter a couple of years ago here at our home in Tuscany, you and your friends are delightful and a huge source of inspiration.

    I can’t wait to read Cairo Diary and am REALLY looking forward to Tuscan Evenings!

    Lots of love
    Miranda

    Miranda,
    How delightful to hear from you with this process. I am such a novice!
    We are off to Spain soon to explore the roots of my third novel in the series, Taos Sunrise, even though I am 4 chapters from the end of Etruscan Evenings. But I’ll finish this summer and send you the manuscript if you like.
    Did you order Cairo Diary? Would love to know what you think.
    Love, Linda
