Writings

My Writings is a small selection of some things I have written.

Memoirs

I've been a publisher since 2014, under the name Prospect Avenue Books. One of the books I've published under that name is The Bones of My People, the memoir of my late mother-in-law. I actually wrote it myself, adapted from a transcript of her telling her story to her daughter, Rita Baltutt Kyle.
