Whew!
It’s been a long and hard three months – actually two weeks short of three
months – but well worth the effort. After Lucky Press went out of business on
April 30, I was fortunate to find a new and most wonderful new publisher Dream of Things in record time.
Since
then – about the early part of June – we have been working at getting the book
and all the ancillary products ready to go. I think when this Friday comes
along, when I’ll have a new paperback edition and updated bookmarks in hand,
I’ll breathe a big sign of relief. They will be ready just in time for my book
selling opportunities over the weekend and next week at the Greater Los Angeles
Writers Conference where I’m participating on two panels and during my annual
poetry workshop and retreat at Esalen, Big Sur California. What great timing
for a stay at Esalen! It’s a perfect place to unwind.
Because I know how tired you must be at hearing all of this stuff since April
30, I’m bringing a real breath of fresh air to Choices on Wednesday. Daisy
Hickman, who writes the most spiritual, mellow, and calming blog I know – SunnyRoomStudio – will be my guest.
She’ll be expressing her views on the beauty of books as wonderful ways to share our diverse experiences and ideas. Please come back here on Wednesday, July
18 to read what Daisy has to say while experiencing her beautiful and calming
voice for yourself.

Also, if
you live in Los Angeles, think about attending the Greater Los Angeles Writers
Conference. I’ll be moderating the panel titled: “Can You Write Poetry
for both Fun and Profit?” at 2:15 pm on Friday, July 20 and participating
in another panel titled: “Building a Platform –
How to Promote Yourself and Your Work” at 2:00 pm on Saturday July 21.
PS: A new
paperback edition of my memoir, Leaving
the Hall Light On, is already available for preorder at Barnes
& Noble.
