After two tense days, it looks as if Bunny is out of the woods and on the mend. Thanks to all of you who sent me email. Encouraging words were much appreciated, by me and by Bunny, too. Also, for the record: we have a great vet.
You've stumbled across my official website and landed on the front page of my weblog.
My name is Rosina Lippi. I'm a former academic and tenured university professor, writing full time since 2000. Under the pen name Sara Donati I am the author of the Wilderness series, six historical novels that follow the fortunes of a group of families living in upstate New York from about 1792-1825. A new series based on later generations of the same families was launched September 1, 2015 with The Gilded Hour. The next volume in the new series, Where the Light Enters, was released in 2019.

Wise Guys
If you are in difficulties with a book, try the element of surprise: attack it at an hour when it isn’t expecting it.
— H.G. Wells (attributed), Sir Osbert Sitwell

I’ve been reading your blog for a while and I thought I’d just leave you a comment here to let you know that I’m glad Bunny is on the mend. Sick pets always leaves everyone heartbroken and stressed.
ps: I’m very much looking forward to the fourth Wilderness book. I enjoy them immensely and have been encouraging my friends to read them as well.
I am sorry about Bunny and am glad he is on the mend!
That’s very kind of both of you. I know that in the greater scheme of things one small dog isn’t all that important. There are truly terrible things going on in the world, after all. Also I realize that many people just don’t understand the nature of such a connection to an animal. But he’s important to me and to mine, and it has been stressful.
Klimtomaniac (what a name!) — hope you’ll find book four worth the wait.
