| Introduction | The horrific earthquakes in Haiti have stirred up many memories for me. Rob and I worked there for five months when we were young and first married. I have followed events in Haiti with a heavy heart over the years. Two years ago I wrote a novel (novel outline really) for the Muskoka Novel Marathon. It was a 72 hour nearly sleepless write-fest which produced Tout Bagay! a novel about Haiti. It received some good criticism and I left in my computer, never thinking I'd return to the topic. However, the Haitian earthquake caused me to rethink this and I am rewriting the novel and posting it here and on Hubpages with ads from Adsense to raise money for earthquake relief. |

Why does the taste of pennies remind you of losing a tooth?
It's the taste of blood money.
