Beatriz Williams: November 2010
http://beatrizwilliams.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 20, 2010. The blackbird sings to him, "Brother, brother,. If this be the last song you shall sing,. Sing well, for you may not sing another;. Brother, sing.". Julian Grenfell, Into Battle. Weeks now, the Ashokan Farewell. Has drifted through my mind in random moments. You’ve heard the music: a Scottish lament. It featured throughout the Ken Burns Civil War documentary. A haunting violin capturing the grief of lost manhood more expressively than the words it accompanied. So when I first...

Beatriz Williams: August 2010
http://beatrizwilliams.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 31, 2010. HOW I SURVIVED MY SUMMER VACATION. We have this glorious first-day-of-school tradition at our house, in which we scorn the big yellow bus and trudge uphill en famille. The other part wanted to bolt down the sidewalk shouting, "FREEDOM! Come summer, I can't get any work done. Now the big kids are in their classrooms, and the baby's napping, and I'm sitting in front of the computer at last, being myself. And you know what? As long as they go to bed early. Sunday, August 15, 2010.

Beatriz Williams: DARK SECRETS OF THE BOOK FAIR REVEALED!
http://beatrizwilliams.blogspot.com/2011/11/dark-secrets-of-book-fair-revealed.html
Monday, November 7, 2011. DARK SECRETS OF THE BOOK FAIR REVEALED! I don't know how the PTA works in your neighborhood, but in the affluent Connecticut suburb in which I live, the PTA could pretty much crush the Mafia with one well-manicured hand tied behind its back. It was the outgoing PTA president. For reasons still unclear, I'd been nominated for a position on the Nominating Committee. What's the Nominating Committee, you ask? So there we are, zapping unsuspecting mommies to chair the thirty-odd PTA ...

Beatriz Williams: THE LONG WHITE ROAD
http://beatrizwilliams.blogspot.com/2012/04/long-white-road.html
Tuesday, April 24, 2012. THE LONG WHITE ROAD. If you’ve taken the Eurostar between London and Paris, you’ve seen them: quadrangles of orderly white headstones, dropped apparently at random across the empty fields of Northern France. Which chronicles her journey from the golden sunset of the Edwardian age to the politics and domestic compromise of the threadbare Thirties, when the book was published. Not that I made it that far, at least at first. For me, the book ended with the death of Vera̵...By th...

Beatriz Williams: September 2010
http://beatrizwilliams.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 30, 2010. A TALE OF TWO CONTEST ENTRIES. I heard the other day that only one manuscript in ten thousand gets picked up by a publisher and turned into a book. That's a whole lot of doomed aspiration (and, alas, a whole lot of crappy manuscripts), and it got me thinking: what sets the winning effort apart from the 9,999 also-rans? As it happened, I had just finished up judging my share of a writing contest, and the answer lay right before me. There was just one problem. It was boring.

Beatriz Williams: A TALE OF THREE COVERS
http://beatrizwilliams.blogspot.com/2012/03/tale-of-three-covers.html
Monday, March 12, 2012. A TALE OF THREE COVERS. As any debut author will tell you, the moment you see your first cover is like the moment you glimpse your firstborn child. So imagine if your newborn were whisked away from the hospital nursery in the dead of night, and you were told, Not to worry! We've got an even BETTER baby in store for you. And a few months later a. Infant appeared in a basket (or, as the case might be, a FedEx delivery envelope) on your doorstep. And then it happened again. I begged ...
