What, Why, How: Patricia Gapske

May 22, 2017 By Linda K Sienkiewicz

What: I’m an artist who loves to draw, take photographs and create sculptures, and within each of those is a subcategory of different materials and processes that I use. I used to think that I needed to focus all of my energy on one specific medium but that never worked for me. I felt like I was holding my creativeness captive for others' ideals and not my own. I took an art class in high … [Read more...]

Listen To Your Mother Metro Detroit Recap

May 14, 2017 By Linda K Sienkiewicz

On April 30th, 2017, I had the honor of sharing the stage with a dozen other brave and honest women at Saint Andrews Hall in Detroit for the Grand Finale Season of Listen To Your Mother, a national, live storytelling event.

Crossing the Street, a new novel by Molly D. Campbell

May 8, 2017 By Linda K Sienkiewicz

My first impression of Molly Campbell, who I met on Twitter through mutual friends was "Damn, this broad is funny." Over the years, I've discovered we're both authors, artists, Ohioans, and proud grandmothers. Molly has a brand new novel out, her third, and I'm willing to bet it's filled with humor, as well as heart. Jamie Ford, New York Times bestselling author of Hotel at the Corner of Bitter … [Read more...]

What, Why, How: Laura Hulthen Thomas

May 1, 2017 By Linda K Sienkiewicz

What: I’m a fiction writer and I’ve also written essays. And, like all writers, I do so many other things that, while writing is absolutely central to who I feel I am, it’s only a small part of who my friends, family, and students see. I’m very, very lucky to teach creative writing at the University of Michigan’s Residential College, so most of what I do is read and talk to undergraduates about … [Read more...]
