I've neglected this blog for far too long. Time to begin some serious catching up.
For the moment, I'll mention that the memoir I alluded to months ago (last June, was it?) is now available. Although the publishing date is officially March 14, 2012, Amazon.com is already shipping it and I'll have a short run (16 cases) in hand next Wednesday, February 8, 2012. The book is I Can Dance: My Life with a Disability, by Laurie Hoirup.
Caution: Age 18 and up only. Laurie is very frank about several sensitive and personal subjects. This is not a book for kids.
This has been a long process, involving round after round of edit/proofing, and of course design and formatting, cover design (by Jeannie Reusch, willdesignforchocolate.com), and the various steps required for publishing.
For those in the Sacramento, CA, area, a signing is planned for 1 to 4 pm, Saturday, March 24, 2012, at The Marketplace, Folsom Blvd. at Mercantile Drive, Rancho Cordova.
BarnesAndNoble.com is offering pre-orders, but past experience suggests that on March 14th they will cancel pre-orders for the book. They did that with a previous book (my first via Lightning Source, about which -- both the book and LS -- more later.
