Just in time for the beginning of fall, Marsha Solomon celebrates the start of a new season.
When it comes to war, it’s all about the weapons. Which side has the most lethal weapons, and a lot of them, wins. We’re seeing that now with the war in Iran. But it was also true back in 1916, during the Great War.
On a long drive through Long Island, Marsha Solomon was inspired to write a new poem, “Forever Woods,” and create artwork called “Journey in a Day.”
In Kieran Scott’s “The Getaway,” four couples become close, share good times and bad, and gather for special occasions. But when one couple spilts, moving ahead becomes not only tough, but dangerous.
“We are preparing to move, and as I watched my two sons play at the waterfront in Peekskill along the Hudson, I thought about how much of our lives this place has quietly witnessed and how strange it is to grieve a home before you’ve actually left it.”
The Martini Club, a loyal group of ex-CIA operatives in Maine, must work together – again – to solve two murders and discover the identity of a Russian agent who is now targeting one of their own. But what secret is their friend, Ingrid, hiding, even from her husband?
What better time to let our imaginations soar as we enjoy the last days of summer and look forward to fall. Marsha Solomon shows us how.
In 1905 London, Balvinder dev Singh has access to British society because of his best friend, AJ Raffles, a wealthy gentleman and one of the country’s best cricket players. But gruesome killings targeting the upper class will test Bal’s loyalty to his friend and his new country.
