The Mountain Goddess a finalist in the Foreword Indies awards!
I'm thrilled that The Mountain Goddess the second novel in the Sadhana Trilogy, is a finalist in the fantasy category in the 20th Annual INDIES Book of the Year Awards. Foreword Magazine, the only media company completely devoted to independent publishing, announced the finalists selected from over 2,000 entries from university and independent presses. Along with my first book, award-winner The T Read more of this blog post »

"An antidote for our times, Shonda Buchanan weaves together a nubby, quilted memoir with grit and determination not to hold anything back, as she dives deep into her own ancestry and its context within a history we share and navigate today. The langua"

“Do not perform an action for the reward it may bring. Perform it because it is right; it is dharma.”
― The Tigress and the Yogi

“Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.”

“And Dorothea..she had no dreams of being praised above other women.
Feeling that there was always something better which she might have done if she had only been better and known better, her full nature spent itself in deeds which left no great name on the earth, but the effect of her being on those around her was incalculable.
For the growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts and on all those Dorotheas who life faithfully their hidden lives and rest in unvisited tombs. Middlemarch”

“I write entirely to find out what I'm thinking, what I'm looking at, what I see and what it means. What I want and what I fear.”

“You once said that you would like to sit beside me while I write. Listen, in that case I could not write at all. For writing means revealing oneself to excess; that utmost of self-revelation and surrender, in which a human being, when involved with others, would feel he was losing himself, and from which, therefore, he will always shrink as long as he is in his right mind-- for everyone wants to live as long as he is alive-- even the degree of self-revelation and surrender is not enough for writing.
Writing that springs from the surface of existence-- when there is no other way and deeper wells have dried up-- is nothing, and collapses the moment a truer emotion makes the surface shake. That is why one can never be alone enough when one writes, why there can never be enough silence around one when one writes, why even night is not night enough.”
