Welcome!
Thank you for
subscribing to Blue Musings! I'm excited to be
building a tribe of passionate readers and I hope you will be one of
them.
My
plan is to send out a regular edition 6 times a year, each featuring a
short
story for your reading pleasure, along with any writing or publishing
news to share.
In
addition, I may send out irregular updates, if there's something
exciting on the horizon that happens out of sync with the regular
schedule.
Please
know it is my intention to build community, not to spam readers.
You may opt out of receiving mailings at any time by
following the links in the footer. (If you received this as a forward,
you may subscribe here.)
Have
something you want me to know? Questions? Feedback about Blue Musings
or one of my
stories? Feel free to email me at lisa@ljcohen.net.
Also, if you know someone who you believe would appreciate
receiving Blue Musings,
please do forward this on.

What's
New
Longtime readers of my
blog may know
this, but we had a serious house fire on December 1, 2010 that
displaced our family for 9 months. Fortunately, while no one
was hurt, the emotional toll of the year that followed made it hard to
work on new writing.
I
am thrilled to be back home and back to my regular routines,
including the start of a new novel.
In Manifest
Destiny
(working title), I am returning to the world of
ghosts and haunted places I inhabited for The
House of Many Doors,
currently out on submission through my wonderful agent, Nephele
Tempest of The Knight Agency.
Manifest
Destiny
is a YA ghost story/murder mystery set in an
abandoned amusement park in which a grieving teen and a bitter ghost
work together to solve the ghost's murder.

This
Issue's Story
I
blame this one on NPR. Actually, a lot of my plot bunnies
come
from listening to public radio and the stories about technology and
medical advances.
Can our memories be trusted? Or are we are
own original unreliable narrators?
Persistence
of Memory

Janice Cohen
My
handwriting is starting to go. That seems to be a consistent sign of
the disease progression. It was much faster this cycle. Maybe if
I'm lucky, I'll be like a leaky jar and the memories will just spill
out of my head as fast as the doctors can pour them back in. At this
point, that would be a blessing.
. . .
Continue reading Persistence of Memory
in the attached pdf. If your email provider doesn't
pass along attachments, it is also available, DRM-free, in pdf,
mobi
or epub
formats. This downloads page has all three
formats and information about how to open the file on your preferred
