I am now officially homesick.  Chicago State is minutes from my childhood home in Chatham.  My mother was a teacher librarian at Harlan High School. I plan to visit Chicago in June and August this year.  I haven't been home since 2001! I hope to connect with other writers when I am home.

Welcome to the board Doc!  And thanks so much for your support on the social media end!
