The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best time is now. ~Chinese Proverb
In the midst of a grove of cherry trees along the bridle path in Central Park on the east side, a sapling has been planted where an old one fell in the storm. I'll watch this one grow with pleasure.
A native New Yorker, I was born on the lower East Side before it was trendy. Way before.
Years ago, when the corporate world of magazine publishing booted me out the door, I picked myself up, dusted myself off and decided after struggling as a painter for most of my adult life that I would struggle as a writer.
The idea for my novel “A Birdhouse In Brooklyn” came from an original idea I had for a screenplay, “The Birdhouse.” While writing that screenplay—a collaborative effort—I felt my story was bigger than a movie and I began in earnest to write it as novel.
The novel is entirely a work of fiction. Names, characters, business organizations, places, and incidents are either the product of the author’s imagination or used fictitiously. The use of names of actual persons, places, and events is incidental to the plot, and is not intended to change the entirely fictional character of the work.
A BIRDHOUSE IN BROOKLYN has been registered with the Writers Guild of America, East #R20993 (June 13, 2006). No part of it may be posted or reprinted without permission from the author, Linda Danz.

Oh Linda, what a beauty... I have to talk with you
Yes, it was like seeing a newborn. Bel, I will be at an environmental event for Oxfam all day in Central Park, so I'll write later.
'The next best time is now'
I will try to remind it.
A pleasure to read you and my best wishes to the newborn.
Qualunque: Thank you for your kind words. I shall make periodic visits to watch the newborn grow.
