Last night at @epiloguebooks.bsky.social with @literaryish.bsky.social where we talked about books and how we write them and what inspires us. Such an fun and compelling conversation. @blairpub.bsky.social
Mutual support and affection between novel writer and bookseller . Thanks @page158books.bsky.social and Sue Lucey.
We’ve had snow, ice, and rain in the first two weeks of my book tour but the light keeps shining in. Ask for Dancing Woman at your local bookseller or order it from Bookshop.org
That’s my novel, #DancingWoman, in the window at #McIntyre’sBooks. It pairs well with a plush Valentine pillow. @blairpub.bsky.social

What I’m reading on MLK day. @angelajacksonbrown.bsky.social ’s new novel, #Untethered, set during the #CivilRightsEra. One woman is trying to make a difference while keeping herself whole. Isn’t that what we must all do?
This Wednesday, warm up with Dancing Woman set in northern Nigeria. A woman is looking for herself amidst cultural, personal, and political unrest. This is a quintessential story but surprisingly told.
Blair@blairpub.bsky.social · 2y agoCome out to @quailridgebooks.bsky.social on Wednesday, 1/22, at 7 pm for the launch of DANCING WOMAN by @elaineneilorr.bsky.social!

For me: 1. Archeologist. I just want to go places and dig. 2. Modest seamstress of fabric home goods like aprons and pillows. 3. Gardener. We’re back to digging in the dirt.
Kate Tuttle@katekilla.bsky.social · 2y agoWhat are your top three alternative careers, if you could start over and do something entirely different? For me it's probably: 1.
