Current Ventures

Frances is reaching out with the message of Getting a Grip: Clarity, Creativity and Courage in a World Gone Mad, through writings, speeches, radio appearances. The message of Living Democracy is spreading and finding fertile ground across the country...and even overseas!

Anna is continuing to tour with Grub: Ideas for an Urban Organic Kitchen. She also has several new book projects are underway, including a children’s book series.
