Debut Reading of my Debut Chapbook

Saturday! Saturday! Saturday!

The debut reading for Grieving Hope (ELJ Editions) is this Saturday, June 7 on Zoom. As I mentioned before, this volume is a collection of five mini chapbooks including mine, Offset Melodies. My chap is a hybrid mixture of memoir and fiction told in a young girl’s voice over the years between preschool and young adulthood. I’m in wonderful company with Kim Steutermann Rogers, Ronita Chattopadhyay, Kristina Tabor, and Janet Murie whose chaps are extraordinary.

Despite the fact that in my past working life I was an occasional public speaker, I seem to have lost my poise in my older age. The last reading I did was not fun as I was nervous as heck by the time they got to me. Afterward, I said never again! Welp, here I’ll be….again. I do so envy teachers who do this all day, every day and think nothing of it. Send me some good juju!

Many thanks to Editor Diane Gottlieb and Publisher Ariana Den Bleyker for publishing this volume and for a smooth and satisfying publishing process!
