Thanks, Connie lives just a few miles south of me and I try to read all of
her stuff. She's not at all like you might expect from someone who writes
this type of speculative fiction, I'll look for it.

Re: Blue Moons
If you have not seen it, you may enjoy Connie Willis' short story "Blued
Moon." It's a sort of magical realist light comedy. The story has a
background in which the moon is beginning to look blue as the result of the
release of some industrial chemicals into the atmosphere that were supposed
to have been harmless. As the moon starts to look blue, unlikely events
begin to happen. The story is about 10 years old and collected in various
sci fi annuals and collections.
