Is this a way forward? Make a picture a day? Even if I can’t explain it. Post only those I love. (I love this one).
Because I’m getting sick of myself, I’ll tell you that. And sometimes afraid too. Like I’ll be found out by the bad guys.
I’m committing the cardinal sin of posting the same images everywhere, but in this time of extraordinarily bad news, maybe I can get a pass? Because it makes me insanely happy to see my book at an independent bookstore. Look! Will you goddamned look? Next to Jesmyn Ward no less.
I still can’t quite believe it.
Nor can I believe that I’m still finding typos. Today: two. And two improvements.
(Did I mention that Ken is my book manager? Poor guy).
Next week stay tuned for a link to my podcast interview on On Mic.
Podcast interview! That wasn’t on your to-do list. How exciting.
Yes. Was not expecting. My sister in law made it happen!
I like the collage. And, this afternoon I started reading your book The Weight of Cloth…Only a few pages in, but soooo good!
Who’s this?
Insanely happy is good ….
Book looks great at the bookstore! I began The Weight of Cloth after I finished another book (Tracing Homelands: Israel, Palestine and Claims of Belonging) and had to put it down for a while because I’m taking a Middle Eastern class taught by a history professor with lots of reading. But I’m looking forward to returning to it.
it’s me, grace….I LOVE the bookstore…so much….it’s just Glorious…. I smile ear to ear
This is exactly what we all need: to find joy in these days of darkness and here it is, front and center in your local bookstore, on top of my night stand where it will be read again and then there is the forthcoming podcast, plus the excellent reviews on Amazon. None of this surprises me for it is so well deserved. Looking at your book, The Weight of Cloth, set up against the bright sun light of the bookstore’s window, lifts a weight from my heart . To see it displayed, is such a joyful, heart-filled moment and I heard myself say, with pride, ” I know this amazing author.” As my British son-in-law would say, “Well done Dee”. I will simply say, “Congratulations Dee’ and how is the next book coming?!
Ha the next book. It’ll be a while. Not over a decade this time but a while. And thanks, Marti!
