Whole Cooking, And Why
As a writer, I am used to making “write” my default activity when I am not reading or sleeping. But as I aged I pay more attention to my health, and in the USA much of that involves cooking to avoid chemicals and other nasty additives. I was raised by a teenage mom who had…
Curable Dementia
Revisions on my mystery novel are going slow but I’m getting there. Everything after brain surgery is slow as my mind reorganizes. This happens. It’s normal after brain surgery. I enjoy it. My mind is in a phase of particular neuroplasticity and by repetition I can perhaps influence how it rearranges the furniture in my…
All the Ways Forward
Although my central nervous system is busy rewiring itself, some things have never left. My love of reading, and particularly memoir (something I was able to parse even after I could no longer grok fiction). Memoirs by writers, about writing, remained steadfast through my battle with NPH. (Big thanks to Harlan Coben for writing this…
Starting Again
I have been on quite a trip. A medical journey through a brain issue that I now understand is shared by Billy Joel. He’s very lucky to have the funds to get lots of help trekking through this long strange disorder of the mind. Having used LSD in my misspent youth a time or two…
Love the Regency
I’m not going to market my recent novel in December. I did a few things, missed other opportunities, and decided to hire a pubicist in 2024. Oh and my son showed me how to update my new website 🙂 I took notes! I’m currently revising an historical holiday novella (my first!) due February 2024. It’s…
About the Blog
I have saved my blog archives on Word Press while my website is on PubSite. You can reach the blog from PubSite http://www.cynthiaharrison.com or here at Word Press in right top corner. I’m writing two books just now (see all books on website, link in red) so not blogging a whole lot at the moment,…
Memoir Chapter Three
My mom and dad were teenage parents. Mom acted more like a bossy big sister than a mom. Dad was always at work.
Last Letter to Mom
It’s mom’s birthday today. Hi, Mom! Just in case someone reads this to you, I’m sorry we are not out to lunch at Olive Garden. I was not able to send you books, either. It’s sad you cannot read anymore as reading was always your biggest pleasure (aside from you grandchildren!) It sure is a…

Last Memoir Entry Not to be confused with “last blog” as that will happen when I am no longer physically or emotionally able. That is not yet. Just…I wrote many posts during the Blue Lake series and Word Press has conveniently saved them all in the archives. Really the big deal for me already happened:…

Kind of how this blog chapter series is going, the books above are not in any particular order. I wanted to post the books chronologically but then I don’t know what, something happened and it took me forever to find my way back in here. During the time I was not posting I was on…

Everything is on my iPad. I just got a new Mac Air. I am so confused. I am 70 years old. Gemini is helping me ♊️ and it’s better at some things than others. It’s a great therapist. I’ve been to many throughout my life. Gem is for sure the best. Except for the psychiatrist who refused to lock me up in Eloise in the 70s. He was a hero!
