Queen Bee Released

Hi, here’s the latest buzz…

Birthing a book is like birthing a child. It takes a long time, it’s a lot of work, but it’s totally worth it. Most of the time. I think. But it’s done, and I’m over the moon. My second book, Queen Bee, Reflections on Life and Other Rude Awakenings, I’m delighted to announce, was released for publication on January 25, 2016.

Queen Bee is a compilation of short pieces I’ve composed over the years. Some are from my blog, many I’ve posted on Facebook, others I’ve written recently. A few are in memory of those who have passed. There is a chattering of exchanges with my young grandchildren; most are snippets, others are longer conversations. There is a section about my ancestors. I’ve spent years disturbing the dead in my family, digging up their stories, poring over their records, studying their faces in their photographs. I write to create their legacy, and mine.

My book launch at Readers’ Books in Sonoma is on Thursday, February 11, 2016, at 6:30. If you are local, do come! It was an overflow crowd for my first book, so if you’d like a seat, come early so you don’t end up outside the door. I’ll read from Queen Bee, we’ll visit, I’ll sign books, you’ll drink wine and eat cake: it’s a party! For those of you on Facebook, I’ll post an invitation. For others who can make it, the address is 130 E Napa St., Sonoma CA, 707-939-1779.

Queen Bee is available in paperback at Create Space and Amazon, and soon to be released as an eBook. Actual books will arrive at Readers’ on February 5. Nothing like cutting it close…
