Full Body Burden in paperback on June 4th!

I’m back in Memphis now after weeks of being on the road.  The summer humidity hasn’t set in yet, and it’s sunny and bright with a crispness in the air that reminds me of my beloved Colorado.  It feels good to sit down at my desk and get back to some serious writing.  I’m feeling a bit stunned that this last year has passed so quickly, and now–less than two weeks away–the paperback of Full Body Burden is coming out!  I’m so excited.  I love the cover.  (Do you?  Send me your thoughts!)  It’s challenging to design a cover for a book like this, because the story is deeply personal and also so much bigger than that.  It’s hard to capture the essence of the story in a single image.  My travel schedule starts up again in a few weeks–and I’m thrilled to be a featured author at the literary festival in Edinburgh, Scotland, in August–but for now I’m hunkering down and working hard on my next book.  Details to come!
