My recently completed writing collection THE SCONE DIARIES is made up of 40 essays, lists, songs, glossaries, dictionaries, and chronologies based on my eleven (so far) trips to the United Kingdom and Ireland from 1971 through 2014. I will start publishing this collection here starting in December 2022. A index (though without page numbers) will be published next to clarify subject matter.
