On the eve of my book, Weaver's Web--a fusion fantasy novel--publishing in paper and kindle, I chose to go to Canada, miles away from internet access. Though, of course, I still had to bring my laptop and a pile of editing.
Here is the important and stunning thing to me: I'm out there. All of my life I have written, and all of my life its been family, a few friends, and of course instructors that read. Writing this book brought me a whole range of emotions and experiences. All I want is to share them.
I had a great team of people to back me, and I need to send mad props to them.
Meantime I waded in Lake Superior. I was lazy about my hygiene. I hung with my uncle's family and went to galleries with my aunt.
Now I am back, I am published, and I am ready for the next step. Give me a shot. Click below the cover picture for links to paper and kindle editions.
That fog and rock landscape was a good place to escape a sense of being trapped in your own writing, in your own mind. At the same time, it sure does evoke whole mythic worlds. I have a print of Lisa Cole's woodcut, "Five Thousand Years Ago" in my living room, and every time I see it, in spite of familiarity, I get this kind of primeordeal (sp) shiver.
