I feel very fortunate with the cover art--it really is beautiful, and I'm grateful to Luke Buchanan for creating this painting specifically for the book.<br /><br />I appreciated the memories of your own summer of '74--a new place, first short fiction, a magical time indeed. And thanks for your reflection on your own work here too, family at the core of it.<br /><br />Hope you and your own family are doing well. Stay safe!

It is hard, I think the longer you write to come up with fresh new ideas (is there such a thing) and new names, too. I enjoy your work, Art and intrigued by the title of this new one. 1974 was a good year for me. I remember it well. Congrats!Abby L. Vandiverhttp://www.abbyvandiver.comnoreply@blogger.com
