***CLICK MY BLOG AND READ MY LATEST POSTS - A review of a beautiful memoir by international artist and poet Susan Gardner of Santa Fe, and another review of a wonderful debut Southern novel by Gene Wright.*** ***FLASH -- I'M SPEAKING AT THE NEW MEXICO WOMEN AUTHORS BOOK FESTIVAL on Sunday, October 2, at 3 p.m. at the Palace of the Governors bookstore porch. My topic? How I turned a very real Elvis Presley into fiction. I'm also signing books. Come by and say "Hi." *** Hi. Thanks for visiting my site. First the news: The Year the Music Changed is now available in paperback and on Kindle. And you can still buy it in hardback, oh, yes. As for me, I'm a Southern writer recently relocated to Santa Fe, New Mexico. My debut novel, The Year the Music Changed: The Letters of Achsa McEachern-Isaacs and Elvis Presley, was published in 2005 by The Toby Press [tobypress.com]. The reviewer for The Atlanta Journal and Constitution ranked it with To Kill a Mockingbird, Library Journal gave it a starred review and termed it "highly recommended for all collections," and Booksense named it a "Notable Book" for September 2005. It has been translated into Italian and Japanese. I am currently working on my second novel, tentatively titled In the Clearing, which was nominated in an earlier draft for the Pushcart Press Editors Award. I hope you will mouse around the site, that's what it's here for. Thanks for coming. And as we say back home, "Take good care." |
