Only a couple more days until Meditations In Wonderland is out!
The quote on the bracelet above is from the book, one of my favorite scenes to write. A huge thanks to Ana for sending me this!
As promised, another exclusive quote from the book, appearing for the first time here:
“She closed her eyes and continued her
pace, imagining what it would feel like to be in those woods, just as she had imagine
what the meadow would feel like. A feeling of solitude crept in, and with it
came the comfort of being hidden like a small child playing hide-and-seek, only
she was both the seeker and the one who was hidden.”
To pre-order the book or learn more about the Tweedles and what you’ll find in this dark re-telling, you can visit the Amazon page here.
And if you’re in the DC/VA/MD area, you can see me tomorrow morning on channel 9 (WUSA) at 9! I’ll be giving my first interview on the book. Wish me luck, your girl is having some serious nerves right now!
Happy Sunday,
Anna

Thy leaves have ripened to the fall;
Tomorrow’s wind, if it be wild,
Should waste them all.”

4 Days Until Meditations In Wonderland Is Out!
Above is the image that inspired my version of Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, or as they’re referred to in my story, the Tweedle Twins.
In tonight’s sneak peek I thought I would let them have their turn in the spotlight:
“You’ve awakened to your purpose, haven’t you? Yet
you’re still asleep while you’re acting it out. Have you got a purpose?” –The
Tweedle Twins
