My book is done. Still a few revisions to come but it is for the most part complete. You will see it in a few short months (released September 7th I believe! I will write more as the date approaches. So far no cover image has been officially released online.) I love it and am sad to leave it behind, though grateful for the break from work, (it’s been an intensive few months).
We are beginning a long journey from California back to New York (via car). We are going to hit some places I have always wanted to see on the way, the Grand Canyon, the Petrified forest, Santa Fe NM, New Orleans, and more. Plus a stint in Texas to give a workshop at the Design Ranch!
I will check in from time to time here.

Yay for roadtrips, especially the non-rushed ones! Check out the Stonehenge reproduction in Hunt — near Design Ranch, I’m fairly certain. Can’t wait for the new book!

I have a story for you Keri.
I remember you writing once about the book If On a Winter’s Night a Traveler and how it’s magical and turns up in unlikely places. For some reason this stayed with me, and I decided to look it up in my library. It wasn’t there so I just forgot about it.
A few months later, I was volunteering at a secondhand charity shop and sorting through the donated books I came across this book! I remembered your post and was a bit spooked, especially because the kind of books we get are usually second rate. I didn’t end up buying it though, but thought maybe you would like to hear this story :) And if it does keep turning up I think I will have to read it.

I did a similar journey last summer…. from California to PA, via the I-10 East, to the 95 North. It was fantastic! Loved Tucson, AZ, and New Orleans, and other stops along the way… through terrific summer storms and searing heat. It was truly memorable! Especially as I was packed to the gills in my Mini, including plants, hats, guitars, etc… The Great Move. Hope you enjoy your journey as much as I enjoyed mine…
