The book is being published in May by Leapfrog Press. You can pre-order it just about anywhere now. I know that Amazon and B & N have it on their websites for pre-order, but if you have a local bookstore that you love, you can pre-order it through them. I don't know if you are in the New York area, but we've begun to set up tour dates around New York and New Jersey. I have a website and you can subscribe there if you'd like to learn about readings or other publications. Here's the link to that. https://nwestmoss.wordpress.com/ And thank you Lynn, for reaching out!(less)

Maybe this is because I enjoy writing and I work not to put a negative onus on the process. I tell my students, and myself, that each person's process is unique, so I try not to judge my ups and downs.(less)
