I am a devoted Kate Shugak reader and I reread them often. I’ve just gone through Though Not Dead again and I was again appalled by the frequent misuse of the verbs lie and lay.

Thank you

I don’t know for sure, Ken. Right now I’m writing Silk and Song, an historical trilogy about Marco Polo’s granddaughter traveling the Silk Road between China and England during the years 1322-1327. I am compiling notes for Kate21, however, if that makes you feel better.
On six acres of view property just outside Homer, Alaska, Storyknife will be one of the very few residencies for women writers in the English-speaking world.
