Greetings my long lost readers and friends....
I know you haven't heard from me much the past few months. Unfortunately, not only has it been a rough fall and winter for a variety of reasons, it has become too difficult to keep up with this blog and also try to generate new writing and art projects. Not to mention doing events, etc. I have been running this website since the economic crash of 2008 and doing a fairly good job of it for free but the time it takes to keep up with so many emails and posting requests and research, etc. has taken a toll. I just can't continue doing it, at least for now. What I am hoping is that if I get an advance for a new book this coming year (cross your fingers!) I can afford a part time assistant who could help keep Mira's List going. So I haven't completely thrown in the towel. Not yet. I am going to suspend it for now until further notice.
That said, Mira's List is still a great resource to peruse. I have many useful links, articles, interviews, etc. I will continue to share information on my Mira's List facebook page as well as twitter, so feel free to follow me there. I am also still available to speak at events, universities and other venues about how to find time, money and a place to create. I did several speaking gigs this year across the country and they were well received! So if you are interested in bringing me to your institution, please write me at [email protected] for fee information and availability.
I also have started skyping with different institutions, in case your organization or school doesn't have enough to bring me there. Just email me and ask about my skyping fees.
So until next time, take care, make great art, and stay subscribed to my blog in case I jumpstart it again later this year!
Love,
Mirabee

Thank you for all that you have given to our community of writers and artists. And congratulations on your various successes. I'll look forward to seeing you on FB & twitter, and to reading your books.
I echo that. You've given very selflessly and helped a lot of people. Good luck & look forward to more work from you.
Ditto! No apologies, please! You've given so much, Mirabee.<br />Brava to all of your accomplishments of late; may you continue to flourish!<br /><br />much love,<br />B
