Reading at EKU

Magazine Mentions
The Sisters got some lovely mentions recently. O Magazine listed it as part of their Fall Reading List. Good Housekeeping named it one of the four books highlighted as “Goodreads” in their November issue — check page 164! Whole Living made The Sisters part of the feature “Soul Food: Books that Feed” in their November issue! (November 6, 2011)
Thank You, Independent Booksellers!
I’m grateful to the many wonderful independent booksellers who nominated The Sisters for the Indie Next list. To be on the list at all–a list that includes Joan Didion!–is amazing in itself. To be the #1 Pick for December is an inexpressible honor. (November 5, 2011)
Heading to Australia and New Zealand!
I’ve always wanted to visit Australia and New Zealand, and maybe someday I will. For now, though, I’m thrilled that The Sisters will be making the journey there on my behalf, to be published by Text Publishing in Spring 2012, just in time for Mother’s Day!
Please visit the Text website and explore their exceptional list of titles. The Sisters couldn’t have found a better home in that part of the world, and I’m honored to be added to Text’s list of authors. (November 3, 2011)
A Skype Chat: Off the Beaten Path

The Sisters: One of the Hot Audio Books for Fall 2011
I was delighted to find The Sisters on a list of the ten “hottest” audio books for fall. An even greater thrill is that Cassandra Campbell is reading–such a beautiful, sensitive, and emotionally grounded voice! I can’t wait to get my own copy. (October 11, 2011)

How would you like to have written a book you can’t read? This is happening to me. Chinese translation and publication rights to The Sisters have been sold to China South Booky Culture Media in Beijing. (September 29th, 2011)
