First off, the long-awaited print version of Barefoot Girls will be available within the next few weeks! For those of you who prefer the heft of a book in your hand, you'll finally be able to get it in the format you prefer.
Personally, I'm still a paper-book girl. Even though my husband has been sucked over to the alternate universe of ebooks, I'm hard to sway. Let's face it, I'm a late adopter, not an early adopter. You probably won't be able to drag me away from my paper books until they stop printing them!
The other piece of news is.....
(drum roll, please)
My short story collection, Earth and Air, is on sale now in ebook stores! Woo hoo!
This collection contains one of my favorite short stories ever, the title piece, and I really think readers will love it, particularly if you love darker spookier fiction (well, there's a comic story at the end that leaves you laughing, or at least I hope it will).
The cover is at the top of this post and the description is as follows:
A
handsome singing gypsy who has the power to make girls sleep, sometimes
forever, decides to rest from his journeys in an old Victorian house in
suburbia with two mesmerized sisters. A broken jukebox leads a girl into uncharted
territory, a wilderness in the back of a bar where the colorful neon lights of
a working jukebox beckon and where she learns terrible things from a
dragon-like woman breathing fire in the dark. A thirty-something career woman
trying to rediscover her purpose on an island retreat is attacked in the still
of the night by a neighbor whose greatest wish is for her to leave.
By the way, the last part of that description was a combination of all the wonderful reviews I've received so far for Barefoot Girls, so, no, I couldn't write something like that about myself.
Very exciting times!
