The Littlest Astronomer

Tonight, Jane explained heliacal rising to me on our way out of the car.

"How do you know all this stuff?" I stammered, after picking my jaw up off the driveway.

"From myths," she says.

I doubt I could have provided such a succinct demonstration of the de Santillana-von Dechend thesis. Those old stories were more than just entertainment.

Hi! I'm Diane Greco, and you are looking at my seven year-old exercise in narcissism, vanity, exhibitionism, ambition, vanity, vanity, and, of course, vanity.

More specifically, here is where I stash links, funny ideas, stories about my kid, notes on what I'm reading, practical reflections, reports from other places, e.g., Russia, Japan, China, Paris, and Iceland, and other miscellaneous junk.

I am a writer.

I've just finished a novel, EASY JOURNEYS TO OTHER PLANETS, about a group of friends hailing from the deceptive, complicated fastnesses of middle America, who struggle to come of age during 1967's Summer of Love. I've also got a compendium of obscenity masquerading as a book of short stories, called MALEDICTION (well, what would you call it?), and a nonfiction book about the fortunes of an Egyptian antiquity smuggled into 19th-century Paris.

I also write about fun things to see and do in London and New York City for Metrotwin, a project of British Airways.
