Kimble Bumblebee

My Memoir of Short Stories from a Town&Country Girl is due to be published in 2021. Thus far, I will self-publish the collection. The book’s dedication is to my parents, Betty Nelson Masoner and Paul E. Masoner.

Coming into this particular body, and being born of these particular parents, and in such a place, and in general what we call external circumstances. That all happenings form a unity and are spun together is signified by the Fates [Moirai].

—Plotinus, II.3.15

The book cover is my design using an artist from the 15th Century Italy; I did a research paper on this artist when studying Historic Preservation. Imagine my delight when I walked into a gallery of the Palazzo Pitti in Florence to find a whole room of her renderings! Then, I found a beautiful painting on silk in a chapel at the Santa Maria Novello. This is alchemy.
