Next Month in This Awful Awesome Life

For the May 2018 issue:

We’ll be celebrating Personal History Month discussing how to write a memoir and how to record your family history for future generations.

In celebration of spring (the real spring) we’ll be talking some more about flowers and gardening.

I’m reviewing Murder Over Kodiak by Robin Barefield.

Robin lives on Kodiak Island in Alaska where she and her husband own a remote lodge.  She has a master’s degree in fish and wildlife biology and is also a wildlife-viewing and fishing guide.

Robin has agreed to share her knowledge about Alaskan wildlife in an article.

We’ll have interesting articles from our regular contributors and as always a quiz.

See you next month!
