I’m Randon Billings Noble. When I started this blog I was an essayist and book reviewer, and also the mother of three-and-a-half year old twins. Now it’s years later and I don’t post here anymore. But you can read my published writing, learn about the workshops I’m teaching, and hear my writing news by clicking the link immediately below (which will take you to my writing website, randonbillingsnoble.com). Thanks!
We’ve missed your posts, writing and general views of worldly and writerly goings on. I do understand, your twins and others that make up your prime constituency must be placing ever increasing demands on your time. Be that as it may, you should know you’re missed throughout your fandom.
I’d like to offer a word of thanks for your post on ‘Cold Weather Reads…. in the month of August,’ particularly Andrea Barrett’s, ‘Voyage of The Narwahl.’ I was not familiar, sadly, with her work and ‘National Book Award.’ Thanks to you, I am just finishing up her new collection, ‘Archangel.’ It’s just brilliant in my opinion. Next I am on to read the award winning, ‘Ship Fever.’ Thank you so much for steering me to her work.
I am becoming a real advocate of the short story, particularly collections, that lend themselves to being interspersed while I am plodding through the course of a novel. I’ll add that Alice Munro, whose work I do know, has not but improved the dignity of the short story, were it ever in question.
Hope this finds you and yours well.

Thanks, Richard! I’ve felt bad about neglecting this blog but good about the reason — so much of what I would have written here has been published (or is being considered) elsewhere. (Most publications won’t look at anything that’s been posted on a blog; even a small blog, such as this one, counts as publication and pretty much disqualifies a piece from being published anywhere else.) But your kind comment makes me want to continue to write here — and more than just the occasional update. So glad you like Barrett’s work. Enjoy Ship Fever!
