I’ve been asked about booksignings. The kickoff is to be at my friend Karen’s shop, The Rug and Yarn Hut in Campbell, CA, next Saturday, June 23; we’re scheduled there from 1-3. I will be showing off shawls and talking about the book and reading some stories from it. I will try really hard not to be screamingly nervous on my first try at this author stuff, but if I open my mouth and absolutely nothing comes out, I’m sure my friend Nancy will jump forward and read it for me. Thanks, Nancy. Then, Commuknity, in downtown San Jose, 6:30 Thursday, June 28. On June 30, Saturday, I’ll be at Marin Fiber Arts in San Rafael at 2 pm. (I’m not sure yet how to post these in the sidebar, so I’m putting them here for now.) Purlescence Yarns in Sunnyvale, CA, at purlescenceyarns.com , has offered to ship copies that I’ll inscribe for people who buy from them–they will start taking orders after their copies come in.
I’m planning on going to Stitches East in October, for that Friday and/or Saturday: my husband and I are from Maryland, and it gives us an excuse to go home for a visit. Rhinebeck the week after is being debated. I expect to be at TKGA in Oakland in September.
I have a huge request to make re booksigning events: I’m on permanent chemo and am extremely susceptible to catching anything, and anything that wakes up my immune system wakes it up to fight me. So I’m asking that people err on the side of caution for me re colds and the like. (I hate having to say that!) Thanks.
Alright–on to the book! (Hurry, hurry, mail system, get those copies out there!)
