The Meaning of "Musable"

For more than 15 years I've been reviewing books each week for the Chico (California) Enterprise-Record. The Biblio File column, currently appearing each Thursday in the newspaper's Buzz tabloid insert, is one of the few places local authors can find some measure of recognition for their work.

This blog celebrates the authorial Muse and, in time, I hope it can be a gathering place where I can post previously published columns, add reviews published by others, and encourage authors, publishers, bookstore managers, and readers to come together in conversation.

Think of each posting as a "muse-able" — something the Muse is able to use to enrich (or antagonize) thoughtful readers.
