I was noticing that Amazon has every item in my order history that I’ve ever purchased!! I look back at my very first Amazon order in 1998. It was the Cyberville book! How great is that for a first Amazon purchase. Glad to se you are still avant-garde!!
For some reason I haven’t been getting email for months to approve comments so I’m sorry I’ve been so late to respond!
Thank you so so so so much for making Cyberville (my first book!) your first Amazon purchase!!
Hi there. You have such a beautiful soul and loving heart that I love visiting your site. Hoping to get into your writing once my work schedule slows down. I “discovered” you through your writings about the Sodder family. Truly a mystery for our times.
Cheers
Bob
What a nice thing to say, thank you.
Hi,
I teach a NYC History class at Stuyvesant High School and was hoping you’d consider coming to give a book talk! I’m really intrigued by your book Damnation Island! The class is fromm2:55-3:35 M-F. Let me know.
Robert Sandler
I would absolutely love to come talk to your class!
Dear Miss,
I attend Raul Proença High School, in Caldas da Rainha.
I’m in class in 10º grade in a vocational course.
I’m doing a school project work about you and I was wondering if you could send me a Photo with 300dpi of quality
with the copyright.
Best Regards.
Hello! What is the project about exactly?
Hi Stacy!
The project is about Woman in STEM. We are doing a biography about women who were important in STEM field. We are planning to do an exhibition with roll-ups with this biography and a photo.
Do you want us to translate to English the biography we have done about you?
Best regards,
João Fernandes

One of the weird things about singing in Choral Arts is the wide spectrum of privilege that pervades the group. Longtime alto Candy Stroud who works in public relations and political communications is a walking buddy of former MD lieutenant governor Kathleen Kennedy Townsend. Such a shock when KKT’s daughter Maeve and grandson Gideon drowned after their canoe capsized In Chesapeake Bay. [I love Ordinary People by Judith Guest–somewhat similar in plot; situation also somewhat resemlant of Michael Cunningham’s novel Flesh and Blood. ] Maeve’s sister Kerry (an emergency room physician in New York City) left New York to be with her mother and family at this time of loss in the midst of COVID19. It’s an unwelcome break for her from the nonstop action of the emergency room–not the sort of break anyone wants.
Hello. Welcome to my blog.
Choral rehearsal by Zoom–not a fan. Has your group attempted this in our COVID19 lockdown state? I think independent score study with a good recording may be a better way to learn music.
Good Morning,
I was wondering if you would be interested in giving a virtua lecture on your book “Damnation Island” to our library system.
Maybe in May 2021?
May I ask how much yuo woud charge fro an hour’s virtual lecture.
Thank you
I would love to give a lecture to your library, thank you for asking me. I will email you.
Dear Ms. Horn
Having just completed your riveting investigative tale of Damnation Island, I felt compelled to write to you. I was hoping to plant a seed of a sequel that would take place in the early twentieth century. This could follow patients who were sent from Blackwell’s Island onto Letchworth Village. Letchworth Village seems to be another example of a well-meaning Institution that can’t live up to its intention. Perhaps this subject might intrigue you enough for a follow up; telling the stories of those who get caught up in the system with no hope of ever getting out. My Grandmother was one of many such persons who came to the US and unfortunate circumstances lead to a life that was unforeseen.
Thank you for taking the time to read my request. Your work opens minds and sheds light on subjects that need to be known.
Kind Regards, Kathleen
It’s a great idea. I don’t know if my publisher would want a book so similar, but I agree it’s a story that should be told. Maybe even more so because Letchworth Village is less well known, and I’m guessing less is known about it.
Hello Ms. Horn,
I’ve been checking out blogs and found yours which I’m excited about. We lived in NYC and it’s such a treat to see random things going on. It’s quite special and a bit nostalgic!! I will definitely be following you, probably will also learn some things as well, being a new blogger.
