Look for Starr’s article, “Separation Anxiety and Psychosomatic Illness in the Classroom” in the back-to-school issue of “Teachers of Vision,” 2010.

 Also, look for her article, “The Father’s Day,” in “Insight” Magazine’s June, 2011 issue.

I realized that I have been so busy, I hadn’t been keeping up with what’s going on with Non-Fiction.

I currently am so excited about an article I recently finished titled, “Spiritual Warfare- How to Triumph Over Distraction Tactics.”  I am considering doing a series on this subject.

I am working on several other articles, and several others are completed and are in market.  One of my favorites is titled, “From Tombstones to Gemstones, and Back Again.” 

I will keep you posted on what’s going on with those and where to find them in publication.  If you’d like to read a snippet, let me know and I will post some here for you.

“Spiritual Warfare:  Triumphing Over Distraction Tactics” is officially out in market.  Please pray that it reaches it’s home and reaches the readers that God wants it to reach and that it’s message achieves it’s purpose.

Today is a great day for reflecting!  As I spend some time relaxing and unpacking/unwinding from my trip, today I plan to spend a little R & R time then reading over emails and posts in my group on facebook before getting busy.  I will be transcribing the notes from my interviews from the dig site this evening and I can’t wait to begin working on the article from that information.  I am emailing one of the editors at Ranger Rick this evening, to toss them my angle and I hope to peak their interest in the interesting work going on at Alley Mill.

I had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Rolfe Mandell, who is Associate Professor, Archeology, and Associate Scientist, Geoarcheaology/Quaternary Geology from the University of Kansas.  It was thrilling hearing his thoughts about the dig site and about the artifacts they have found there, dating the Dalton era, which is about 8,000-7,000 BC.  Drawn to the spring water, the cliff wall for shelter and the probability of good hunting in that area, the Dalton people used the area at Alley Mill for a campsite.  I am looking very forward to joining Dr. Mandell and his crew around June 15th for another dig at Alley Branch Cave, about 1/4 mile from the mill.  He will be looking for artifacts in this untouched and unspoiled cave that has not been open for public access.  I look forward to writing about that excursion, as well and am thankful that they are letting me tag along.  Since my novel also has many scenes within cavern structures, I hope this cave will ignite some new inspiration for me.

 I also enjoyed meeting Jack Ray from Missouri State University, who is a Research Archaeologist.  He has been the on site supervisor for the Alley Mill expedition from the beginning.  He was able to give me valuable information and was ever so helpful and pleasant.  Jim Price from the Missouri Conservation Department and several other volunteers from the Missouri Archaeology Society (Ozarks Chapter) and grad students from Kansas University were there.  I look forward to posting some pictures on my website and group in facebook on some of the exciting things I learned from each of them.
