More auction news…Wed. May 11. 8230;AND NOW FOR SOMETHING COMPLETELY (local? And once more in response to some expressed interest, we’re posting this news on an upcoming local auction at Trout’s Auctioneers. In Frederick, Maryland. Items can be viewed on line.

MPM Writing Process 1: Scouting the Terrain – remembering barbara mertz

https://rememberingbarbaramertz.wordpress.com/2016/05/01/mpm-writing-process-1-scout-the-terrain

MPM Writing Process 1: Scouting the Terrain. Again in response to a very helpful suggestion from a “dear reader” of MPM’s, we are venturing into an exploration of the clues she left about her writing process. Over the years, she kept various notebooks and loose notes tracking her projects, all of which we’re just beginning to unpack (literally and figuratively). Eventually, this will all be archived (about which, more as we have information). These MPM notes go on for several pages-the underlining. Ladie...

Unexpected Character Development: MPM Cats 3 and 4 – Emerson (the peculiar) and Vicky (the homebody). 8221; “What’s going to happen to [so-and-so]? 8221; … or, more ominously, something along the lines of “It’s getting boring, time to kill someone off! 8221; (Picture Will Farrell begging Emma Thompson for his life in “Stranger than Fiction,” a movie that made Barbara chuckle — particularly when watching Thompson’s struggles…). How does this get us to her cats? July 16, 2016. Cats and other untamed animals.

https://rememberingbarbaramertz.wordpress.com/2016/03/22/the-writing-den-barbaras-study

The “Writing Den”–Barbara’s Study. Melodramatic old accounts of desert romances, you name it. In the study she kept a collection of her own books — one copy of each edition, including those in many different languages and the audio book versions. She also surrounded herself with books and journals pertaining to her central interests — Ancient Egypt, and the histories surrounding the exploration and development of archaeology there ….

For fans in the Baltimore area…. 8230; and people who, like Barbara, are into antiques…. (unlike some (not all! Of Barbara’s progeny, for whom being dragged to antique shows ranked lower than going to the dentist). Be forewarned, Barbara used her books with gusto — they were there to be read, not looked at! We mention this in case you’d like to see things from the grand to the little and silly from Barbara’s life.
