I had a delightful time chatting with Joy Lanzendorfer yesterday on her radio show “What’s the Story?” which airs on The Krush 95.9 in Sonoma County. You can listen to the podcast here:
Be sure to check out Joy’s novel Right Back Where We Started From, which shares American Dream themes with Dreams Under Glass.
Daughters of the Air is a year old today! I'm celebrating with something bubbly tonight (cider? champagne? seltzer with a spritz of lime?) and feeling grateful for all the love my strange novel has received, from the crowd of smiling faces at my launch party at the Sorrento, to hitting the bestsellers shelf at Elliott Bay Book Company, to seeing my name on the Powell's marquee, to eating my own face in cake form.After entertaining a debut author's wildest nightmares of being universally panned, or being skewered on Twitter, or just dissipating into the void unnoticed, discerning reviewers gave me such joy with their kind praise. I got a thrill learning that a library all the way in Australia owns a copy of my book. I got to travel to Portland, Spokane, Boston, Brooklyn, Chicago, Tampa, Walla Walla, and San Francisco in support of the novel. I shared meals with book clubs and video chatted with human rights students at Pace University. Readers have told me, among other things, that the book gutted them, or made them feel seen. Hearing from readers has been the best, the best, the best. What a dream of a year. [gallery ids="5210,5208,5209,5206,5207" type="rectangular"]
