This was the comment, uttered casually by a friend several years ago when I was still writing my debut novel Cleopatra and Frankenstein—desperately dreaming of finishing one (just one!) novel—that eventually planted the seed for Blue Sisters. Was this true of me and my siblings, I wondered? Could you know me if you didn’t know them? And, if it was true, who would I be if I lost one of them?

[Este ensayo de Modern Love se publicó originalmente en inglés el 10 de septiembre de 2021]. Al año siguiente de dejar de beber, me enamoré de mi vecino. Yo tenía 27 años, trabajaba como redactora publicitaria y vivía en un estudio en Gay Street del West Village en el que cabía mi cama California King y casi nada más. Él vivía al otro lado de la calle en un departamento más grande que tenía una hermosa luz matinal, pero sufría una infestación de ratones.

Abstract artistic Diana Heffron describes how she rediscovered painting and her uniquely peaceful process… Who or what kickstarted your interest in art? I have always loved art and enjoyed painting, and as my children have grown up and obviously during Covid, I had even more time to paint. It was my friend Collette Ward, the interior designer, who gave me the push to do more.
