Madam
Mayo
You will find posts here every Monday and oftentimes more often
on books, Mexico, Far West Texas, tips on creative writing, cyberflanerie,
and occasional guest-blogs. For more about the history and philosophy
of this blog, see my talk for the Associated Writing Programs
conference in 2014, "Eight
Conclusions After 8 years of Blogging."
Giant Golden
Buddha
was a blog . . . now it's a free on-line book. From October
1, 2005- September 30, 2006, I posted a daily 5 minute writing
exercise. These address aspects of craft as varied as point of
view, dialogue, plot, body language, imagery, synesthesia, and
beginnings. Most are mine, but several are from other poets and
writers, as you will see. May they be both fun and useful for
you.

Maximilian
~ Carlota
which launched in July 2010, is an outgrowth of my Maximilian
von Mexiko
webpage, which I started some years ago to share my research
about the Second Empire / French Intervention for The
Last Prince of the Mexican Empire, my novel based on the true story. The
novel was published in English in 2009 and in Spanish in September
2010 as El
último príncipe del Imperio mexicano. My files are deep,
and readers continue to send me new information, which I would
like to share. Though the blog is in English, comments are
warmly welcome in either English or Spanish.

is a
blog.

People tell me this looks scary. No, I do not blog all day long! (Though that sure would be fun.) The only blog that comes out regularly is Madam Mayo. The others are less frequent and/or are intended to stand alone as a kind of archive or, if you will, ebook.
