Welcome! This is my new site, where I will share my thoughts about the creative process. You may know me by my first book: Beka Lamb, published in 1982.
My other novels are In Times Like These, The Festival of San Joaquin and Time and the River. I am working on a fifth novel now, a story set in Belize between the wars.
I invite readers, students, writers, and others interested in my work to comment on blog posts and suggest content for this site.

good luck whit your new blogs

Congrats on your new blog I will be sure to order your books. I have fond memories of reading Beka Lamb. May God bless you and your family always my cousin.
Thank you Loraine!
I came to know of you and your writing through one of my courses at The University of Michigan and I am so glad that I did. I very much enjoy your work and look forward to reading your new novel!
Thank you so much, Jenine!
Beka Lamb a PLAY!! How fabulous, Zee! So many Dhaka dawns, demon wrestling and gallons of coffee to reach this point. You rightly claim success and satisfaction. Congratulations.

Thanks, Melodia! Glad you are enjoying Manila. Victoria and yourself are probably the only old friends who remember the
Dhaka dawns, demon wrestling and gallons of coffee. You two were always so encouraging — remember the days at the club, at your
home, and at Victoria’s? I miss Gulshan, the old red couch on the screened verandah, the monsoons, and the final stretch of
writing Beka Lamb, now a play — produced by students, teachers and others at my old high school, an exciting development.
Glad all is well with you. Glad to see you are still writing. I am looking forward to that travel memoir! Hello to the family. Do you ever hear from Victoria? I hope you are serious about visiting us! Love, Zee
Dear Zee,
CONGRATULATIONS ! Melodia sent me your news. You must be so pleased and yes—- I do remember Dhaka Days.. afternoons at your house.. after you had done your early morning writing. How long ago all this was..We are in kathamndu.. leave after 5 years.. for another adventure ! Where and how is Holly.. Love to you all, Victoria
Hi Victoria,
Holly is fine. She’d love to hear from you and about life in Khatmandu. When Holly and Randall were little, we paid a visit to that
incredible city. Hard to believe it now, but it was during the latter days of the hippie movement. We wandered down Monkey Street
(is that right?), and stayed at an Inn, on the outskirts of the city, with peacocks wandering in the garden, not far from our room door.
You must have learned such a lot in five years. I hope you’ll write to us about your future adventures. I often think of Mel, in Manila,
perhaps this very minute, trying to sort through the “remains of an overseas life”…we are doing the same in our basement, with help from Holly.
We see Holly, Randall, Emily and our three grandchildren very often. I wish we three were having coffee in your Dhaka house. Best Regards to
your Family. Zee
I’m almost seven and I was given your book by my mom as a earlier birthday present, she read it in college and is very proud of you.She is from Belize too..I’m reading it and asking her all these questions about Belize. Oh I’m also proud of you too Mrs Edgell and I like you daugther Holly, she is smart too.
Dear Bryce, Thank you very much for letting me know that you are reading Beka Lamb. I am very glad to know that you are nearly seven
and that you love books. Please say hello to you Mom. As she is from
Belize, I am sure is able to answer all your questions. However, please let her know that I’d be happy to discuss the novel with you both. Thanks, again, for writing. Zee Edgell
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own weblog and was wondering what all is required to get set up? I’m assuming having a blog like yours
would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so I’m not 100% positive. Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated. Kudos

Hey there terrific website! Does running a blog such as this
require a great deal of work? I’ve absolutely no knowledge of coding however I was hoping to start my own blog in the near future. Anyhow, should you have any recommendations or techniques for new blog owners please share. I understand this is off subject however I simply needed to ask. Cheers!
Very easy! No coding necessary. Check the WordPress info here http://wordpress.org
