Giveaway ends soon!
125 people have signed up for a free, signed copy of Bicycle Lotus in the Goodreads Giveaway. The giveaway ends on the new moon of August 2, so you still have time to enter. And those who don't win can buy Bicycle Lotus on sale for a week after that. Bicycle Lotus was a hit at the Hyla Brook Poet reading at Robert Frost's farm on July 14th. Thanks, Hyla Brook, and all who came and participated in the open mic afterward.
