The Kickstarter campaign is over–and wow! Over 1500 copies are going out as rewards when the book is done later this year.

If you missed the Kickstarter but still want to get a copy, give me your name and email here, and I’ll let you know when it’s ready for purchase.

Many thanks to all the backers and to the Kickstarter community team for giving the project so much love.

I’m putting together a handbook for independent learning called Don’t Go Back to School, and funding it on Kickstarter. I’d be so grateful for your support. Please check it out and spread the word.

I’ll be reading at KGB Bar this Sunday at 7PM, with Lynne Tillman and others from Red Lemonade.

My publisher, Red Lemonade is throwing a book party for Follow Me Down–everyone’s invited! Words, special Red Lemonade fizzys, and music.

7PM

I’ll also be reading at Sunny’s in Red Hook on Sept 11, at 3PM.

My novel Follow Me Down is now available for the Kindle!

And for the Nook!

I now have a person page on Facebook for book-related news. Go there to check out the time-lapse video of Ian Crowther shooting the cover photo for Follow Me Down. You can use the Like button for the page if you want to get updates in your stream.

I’m thrilled to say that Follow Me Down has begun to arrive in the mailboxes of people who preordered it. Friends have been sending me pictures, which makes me so happy!

It should be in bookstores soon…if you see it, send me a picture and I’ll post it here!

I get the great treat of introducing these two writers whose work I adore, this Wednesday night.

Wish for a surprise
Wish that California will not fall into the sea
Wish for roller skates
Wish that you were president, or queen
Wish for a dream in which Cary Grant calls you beautiful
Wish for the extinction of mosquitos and roaches
Wish for perfect pitch
Wish your teapot’s whistle was sweeter
Wish for a job as a magician’s assistant
Wish for something that is not yet possible
Wish you were an umbrella, to shelter your lover from rain
