CONGRATULATIONS
TO OUR MEMBERS

Pretty thrilling mail day this month! MIT Technology Review published a 4 page MIT Alumni News feature on Jane Muschenetz's data poems and personal journey. I never thought poetry would be what could land me in an MIT publication! Here's to bringing our whole selves to everything we do.

SDWEG member Patricia Daly-Lipe was recently interviewed by a Kansas City news station, KSNT. Daly-Lipe is a woman we could all envy—for her broad hobbies, experiences and studies, her innate curiosity and creativity, and for her history of accomplishments. She has published more than ten books and won numerous awards for her work, including Top Author of the Decade in 2021, Author of the Year in 2016 and a San Diego Book Award for the first of her two books about La Jolla. Much of her work is historic or historical fiction.


Guild member Cary Lowe’s new book, On Two Legs and Three Wheels, has just been released by publisher Black Rose. It is a collection of two dozen stories about Cary’s travels with his wife, who is disabled and relies on a three-wheeled mobility scooter. Together, they have traveled from the Arctic to tropical islands, from mountains and deserts to urban centers. The stories relate interesting and sometimes amusing adventures but also are intended to inspire older and disabled readers to have the confidence to keep traveling regardless of their physical constraints. Lowe is also the author of the award-winning book Becoming American.
