Hi, friends and family, I want to share a collection of stories entitled, The Dog with the Old Soul , that I have my story, The Improbable Cat Lover, published in. It is a good read that will warm your heart. In this day and age we need a few of those to curl up with on the couch or read on the train ride home from work. It is also, available on Nook. Happy reading- Jennifer O'Neill Pickering Here are the links to purchase the book on Amazon and Barnes and Noble : http://www.amazon.com/The-Dog-Old-Soul-Stories/dp/0373892624 http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/the-dog-with-the-old-soul-jennifer-basye-sander/1111401881

Red Dot Gallery

In April I had an art show at the Red Dot Gallery, in midtown Sacramento. The space is a lovely to showcase art work and the owners go all out for the artist to make a great show. I hope you’ll stop by the gallery located at 22rd J Street. Red Dot Gallery link

The Writing Life …each week we (my writing group, The Writers' Circle) meet and share our poetry, memoir, stories and prose. We put the words on the table. We read, we hear the why we like this work . Then we hear the how it can be improved . This is often an uncomfortable segment of the process for me. But I think it has become an easier listen as I become more and more comfortable with my own writing voice. I listen without throwing up walls. I listen with attention. I am supported, and improve. I support others on their writing journey. On Feb. 20th the Writers' Circle has the honor to be reading at the Sacramento Poetry Center. I say honor because there are many voices wanting a specific space for live spoken word and the live spaces are limited. I hope you will join our circle. Bring your voice share your poem at the open reading. Support living voice, will its imperfections. Hear you there. 25th and R Complex 1719 25th St. Sacramento, CA, 95816
