The Green Lady From Every Angle
On the day a bridge fire broke out in Harlem and all Metro north trains to and from Grand Central was suspended for three hours, we decided to travel in the opposite direction and visited another landmark; one that had been branded as an icon of freedom – Statue of Liberty. I must say that my husband and I had a momentary ‘doh’, tourist moment when we boarded the ferry. See, all the seats on the ferry was facing forward, to the lapping water of Hudson river and the islands...

After a few rainy days in New York, confining us indoors, the sun finally shone and we took full advantage of it, in search of the Central Park Loeb Boathouse.

But I’m madly trying to finalise proof-reading and editing ‘Peeling Layers’ before the announcement of whether it’s been successful to gain a place in the QWC/Hachette Manuscript Development Program is made in early October (and trying not to have the mindset that if I don’t get in, this madness has all been for...
