    It's been said that this was a very real conversation between two very likeminded people. Between these two there is no No rank... Just a bringing together...of two sensitive and Intelligent ladies. The admiration for Edna is so clear from HRH. The recent death of Ms O'Brein leaves a hole in the world of Literature. BUT we have this...Thank You.

After a year of writing, I realized that I had created a book. I knew, with my entire being, that I had to self-publish a book that would be controversial. Despite my family and some friends shunning me and telling others that I was crazy, I believe my book, "Conversations with Nature," is one of the greatest achievements of my life. Sending loving thoughts to everyone.
