Dear Friends,
First of all, I am deeply deeply grateful to everyone who’s been reading and reviewing. If you’re willing to consider posting a review on Amazon, I’ll send you a book if you email me your address. Once you read it, you can put it in one of those tiny libraries.
Also, I keep forgetting to let people know (and now I’m telling you) that my friend and colleague Sandi Boucher is inviting her followers and anyone else who’s interested to a virtual gathering to talk about The Copper Stone! The people who connect with her work are amazing and we will definitely have a meaty discussion. We can talk about Violet’s story, the story of the place, the story of the collaboration, historic and contemporary racism — whatever people want to dig into.
Email me and I’ll get you signed up. juliamarygibson@gmail.com.
Wednesday, November 5
4-6 pm Pacific Time
You’re invited!
Love Julia
P.S.
The Orionids are peaking this week! Extra visible due to the New Moon! Best seen after midnight. Find Orion and let your eyes adjust to the dark and keep watching. We must keep awe alive! We are stardust, we are golden.
