Writing Home: My annual shameless plug
“A book has no unwanted calories and you don’t have to worry about sizes as long as the subject matter appeals to the recipient.” ~Sue Grafton
If there’s a reader on your gift list, I’d be honored if you’d consider my essay collection ($16.95) this Christmas. The 93 previously published pieces in Writing Home first appeared in a variety of national magazines and newspapers, including Mary Engelbreit’s Home Companion, Reader’s Digest, Country Gardens, and The Christian Science Monitor.
These essays were written during the years I worked from home while raising my son. The late Detroit News columnist, George Cantor, wrote about the book after spending a day visiting my favorite hometown haunts with me and described Writing Home as “a love letter to home and family life.”
Signed copies are available locally at The Yellow Door Art Market in Berkley, where you’ll find lots of cool Michigan gifts. If you’re in not the area, I can snail mail signed copies to you or your recipients. (Email me for details: [email protected].)~CL
