Always a thrill to receive a good review. This one arrived 3 years after Hiking Naked was launched! Thanks @reviewthisreviews. Also helps to have the appropriate beverage to celebrate the 4th anniversary of the book. Haven’t read it yet? It’s available wherever books are sold. I’m looking forward to reviewing a bunch of new books coming out soon. Read about them in today’s blog at irisgraville.com.
Here’s what I was getting ready for 4 years ago. Right before the baptism and the Senior Lunch, I launched #hikingnaked on #lopezisland. So many fond memories of the book’s warm reception by my community. Thanks @homebound.publications for keeping the memoir in print and @lopezbookshop for keeping it on the shelves. Still available wherever books are sold.
Celebration! @kipgreenthal and I toasted @spiralleadership last night at @vitaswildlydelicious in honor of Ab's selection as a finalist in the @homebound.publications 2021 Poetry Contest! That means Ab's collection, "Walk Deep," will be published by the press next year. I'm looking forward to reading Ab's book as well as that of the Poetry Prize winner, @samdva. Yep, we closed the place down! Thanks for letting us stick around, @bruce.botts.
You may not have noticed the surprise I hid in yesterday’s blog post, “Sharing Stories During Dark Times.” If you click on the hyperlinks I often include in my essays, the one in the third paragraph would have led you to an important announcement about my forthcoming book, Writer in a Life Vest.
