Anne's given me permission to loan out my copy of her recently-published memoir, Taken By the Muse, which I've just finished reading. Oh, what a ride that was! Anne's a writer, film and tv director, story-teller, musician, and painter who's received numerous awards for her artistic endeavours. She's as vibrant a human as her many forms of art work which virtually shimmer with light and life. Anne lives part of the year at her home in White Rock, BC., and part here in La Manzanilla where she contributes to the well-being of the community in many many ways. I'm happy to share the book as it's not available in Mexico, and ask that borrowers make a $50 (peso) donation to the Helping Hands book store to go toward the scholarship programme. Anne's thinks that's a great idea too! Taken By the Muse is currently on loan, and there's a wait list of 2. If you'd like to get onto the list, please contact me johope66@gmail.com 315-152-1606
