“The joy of publishing is in sharing your stories with the world and knowing that they’ll live on long after you’re gone.”
–Maya Angelou (1928-2014; a renowned American author, poet, and Civil Rights activist whose works explore themes of identity, race, and resilience.)
Dear Readers, gather ’round!
The moment we’re all eagerly waiting for is just around the corner. That’s right—my new book, More Wit and Wisdom: Another Year of Foolin’ Around in Bed–is getting closer and closer to its grand debut in late April, and boy, oh boy, do I have some juicy updates to share with you!
I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve personally PDFed every single one of the 380 interior pages, ensuring that each word, each sentence, shines as bright as a star in my mountaintop night sky. Proofing? Poof! Completed!
Whoever you are and wherever you are, your unwavering support means the world to me. More Wit and Wisdom: Another Year of Foolin’ Around in Bed isn’t just ink on paper. It’s a journey shared across 88 countries with 7,320 readers from the Shenandoah Valley to Okinawa.
But wait, wait! Don’t go! There’s one more thing. Feast your eyes upon the cover art for this new upcoming literary escapade. Just imagine it gracing your bookshelf, waiting to be cracked open and devoured, page by page. It will be available in hardback and paperback from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and, hopefully, your own hometown bookstore. (Drumming up anticipation yet?)

Congratulations!!! The cover art is absolutely perfect! I laugh every time I see that bottle of Pledge. I know you are thrilled beyonds words for the latest publication. Any thoughts on the next chapter…?

Thank you so much! I’m delighted that you like the cover. I do, too! I’ll be eager to hold some books in my hands come the end of April!
I have so many next chapters! The one that’s up next, however, is an April 5 talk at the Library of Congress, sponsored by the Washington Area Group for Print Culture Studies: “Circling Back Home: Thomas Shuler Shaw, Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, and The Library of Congress.” Stay tuned!
I appreciate your ongoing support!
