I’ve finally done it. Transitioned from full-time consulting to full-time fiction writing and landed a publisher for the debut novel. I’ll keep writing articles for the ADN and Workplacecoachblog.com, but my newest short stories (just sold another one) and snippets about my novels will be on the “Writing from the Cabin” blog on the new site “Real-life writing” as I fade out Communication Works, Inc. Yay, rah. Would love for you to look at the new site, https://bit.ly/45lNbVo.

 
 
 
 

“If anything happen to me and my death is known, there is black stirp for bennett school book bag, for my only son. I wish if you please take everything to Bennett that is belong to me. I don’t know how much I would be glad to get home to folks.”
– From the diary of Ada Blackjack, dated April 1, 1923
Ada Blackjack was an Inupiat woman hailed as a heroine and the “female Robinson Crusoe” after being stranded on Wrangel Island north of Siberia for two years. She was part of an expedition party sponsored by famed explorer Vilhjalmur Stefansson. The party included Ada Blackjack, a cat named Victoria, and four men. After battling food shortages, illness, and isolation, Ada and her cat were the only survivors of the expedition.
