Still Thriving
My latest novel is no longer new, and was launched into the world last spring with all the energy and support an author dares to dream of. An unexpected delight were special gifts and keepsakes from reader friends—Susan Sanford Blades’ painting of the cover for her newsletter, Clemence’s yellow teapot IRL from Sarah Campbell of Words Worth Books, the Barbara Pym cookbook from Melanie K. in Stratford, and my best friend Britt’s mom Vicki’s rendering of the book cover in woodwork.
It’s also been lovely this fall to have friends share photos of my book in the wild, in some pretty estimable places, no less. The rainbow display behind the cash at The Well Indigo is particularly exciting, and last week I got to visit and see it for myself. (Copies are signed now!).
Plus as a BEST BET at the Toronto Library Beaches branch, and on the shelf at the Spacing Store.
I’m grateful to everyone who’s worked so hard to get Definitely Thriving into readers’ hands, and to all the readers who’ve so generously received it.
