There Is No Frigate Like A Book

     "There is no frigate like a book to take us lands away."
      So wrote Emily Dickinson, and if the poet was describing a book that one is reading, I can attest that her words also ring true in the case of a book that one has written.
       The publication of my own book has unexpectedly opened new worlds to me: the world of book marketing, for example,

​...nonexistent on my mental map or my cerebral encyclopedia a year ago,

...but one into which I was  propelled almost as soon as my book was released. 

     Ditto the interviews,

...which I've not only given on the subject of my book,

...but now receive via telephone from other authors from around the country and the world - I interviewed one author from India - on the subject of their books for the book podcast yourbookmybook.com

​   Indian author Sonnal Pardiwala, whom I interviewed on her book, "Fan for the First Time."

      But best of all has been the world of new people, especially fellow authors I've met, and some of their wonderful books that have taken me lands away:

  I recently made the acquaintance via the Black Rose Writing Authors Facebook page, managed by my publisher, Black Rose Writing,

...of author R. Bruce Logan.

​...and his superb book, "Finding Lien."

...that took me to a land so far away and yet that felt so real and close and so gripped my heart and my mind that I still haven't returned.
     I'll tell you about it tomorrow.
