About This Site

This is the website of Annabel Ascher, an independent writer. She can be found in many corners of cyber-space, but this is her site. The flagship is Annabel's Odyssey: Dispatches from the Road to Nowhere, a collection of essays on topics spanning from tales of the 1970s, to observations on the imponderables (but nevertheless, she ponders) to rants on the present dystopia and the capitalist ecocide.

You may be inspired, amused, informed, or entertained. Maybe more than one of these. The writer is 70 year old, lives alone with 2 fat feline boys, and is rehabbing an 1885 duplex in the inner city of Rochester NY with an eye to creating an urban permaculture micro-farm on her little 6500 sqft plot.

She is AuDHD (2E) and has some killer pattern recognition and analytical skills. That's what brings the fun!
