Welcome to Larry Andrews' website.

Greetings and welcome to my blog spot.

I've written two novels since my retirement in 2008. The first is a romance, Songs of Sadness, Songs of Love. The second is an action/mysteryThe China-Africa Parallax: A Ryan and Gillian Mystery.

Among the textbooks I have written areLinguistics for L2 Teachers, Mahwah, NJ, Lawrence Earlbaum Associates, 2001; and Language Exploration and Awareness: A Resource Book for Teachers, 3rd edition, Mahwah, NJ, Lawrence Earlbaum Associates, 2006. This textbook was translated into Korean by Pagijong Press, Seoul, South Korea. 2010.

I am presently writing my third Ryan and Gillian novel, The Nathan Culper Brotherhood. You can follow my progress on novel #3 here at this blog site.

write a poem

    The Duck  Like a shoe in the socks drawer,  Or a tuxedo on a boar, A duck scrunched on our front porch, Apt as a Christmas tiki torch.   The duck wasn't expected And seemed disconnected. It's not difficult, though, to devine  His surprise was greater than mine.

Writing Poetry

I've been away for a time with a health issue. Back to writing today. What's your feeling about this one? thanks for your ideas. Like an undershirt in the socks drawer, Or a champagne flute in a sweater, A duck scrunched on our front porch, Apt as a Christmas tiki torch.  The duck wasn't expected And seemed totally disconnected. It appered nevertheless. Is it necessary to devine The duck's surprise was greater than mine?
