the most manic of mondays
because tomorrow my book comes out!
Welcome to Monday of Book Release Week, wherein I try to remember to drink water and sleep and breathe and not consume much caffeine and move my body once or twice and otherwise attempt to avoid anything more significant than my resting state general anxiety disorder.
Buckle up, buttercups. I’m about to take my access energy out on you.
Tomorrow night, I am teaching a webinar for the Jesuit Conference on employing saints and mystics in your creative work. Is it niche? Yes it is. But hey, if it’s for you, then it’s reeeeeeally for you - know what I mean?
This offering is not limited to writers alone; it’s for artists, musicians, graphic designers, small business owners, etc. Basically, if you think this subject might come up in your creative work, then it’s for you! The cost is just $10, but let me know if that’s a problem and I’ll make sure you get in. Click here to register.
If you’re local to the Ames area — or live in the Midwest and don’t mind a short road trip! — I would love to see you at my author event at Dog-Eared Books this Thursday, Sept. 12 from 7-9pm. Register to reserve your spot here. The cost is $26 and includes the hardback book, complimentary drink, and a seat for the interview. Come celebrate with me!
One week from today, I will join four other authors for a free panel on writing about difficult topics. It’s an honor to converse with Lore Wilbert Ferguson, Caroline Biedler, Kristen LaValley, and Zoe Shaw on navigating sensitive subjects in our work without avoidance or minimization. I know I’ll gain wisdom from their perspectives, and I hope you’ll join us for the discussion. You can sign up here.
Tomorrow is a big day in my little world, and I want to thank you for being loyal readers along for the ride. I can’t wait for this book to be in your hands, and to hear what you think about these six rather phenomenal women who grace it’s pages.
If you still haven’t ordered your copy, today’s a great day to do it!
With love and mysticism,
Shannon
Your family cheers you onward and upward this exciting week! So proud of you! Maybe the saints and women mystics will be there, too?
It's time!! Enjoy every minute of book week, sis! So very proud of your hard work and the ways you are stirring the conversation in the world this week (and always). Love you!
