You’re probably wondering…

Why in the world is Sandra de Helen writing a newsletter. After all, I write poems, plays, mystery novels, essays, articles, theatre reviews … Don’t I have enough to do?

Well, yes I do. BUT, I want to maintain contact with readers. If you’re not already a reader of some of my work, I hope you will become one. Even if you only read this newsletter, I value you, because without readers why would I write?

You are welcome here. I invite your comments, love to here about what and why you read, and more. I’ll write about reading, writing, baking, sewing, probably gardening. If you don’t write, bake, sew, or garden maybe you will enjoy reading about those things.

Stay up-to-date

You won’t have to worry about missing anything. Every new edition of the newsletter goes directly to your inbox. My hope is that you will click “read online” so your reading the newsletter counts here on Substack, and not just in my heart where it always counts,

Join the crew
