In other news: People are apparently paying quite a bit of money to read among strangers. Alice Robb, writing for , traces this new tendency by people with too much money to pay for group events where readers meet and sit together in silence while reading books. As a publisher I'm not complaining (see screenshot below)...

One of my recent clients, for whom I designed and published her first book, told me in a phone conversation yesterday, how much difference the book has made in her life, especially as she meets and interacts with new readers during events where she has read from her book. Having authors read from their texts, using their own voices to project ideas into space, is an effective way to create a dialogue between author and reader/listener.
Externalized creative works, such as books, can transform lives like a bud on a tree or a flower that opens up toward possible connections with other human beings.
These works can resonate in unexpected ways with the world, one project at a time. We decided to plan a Zoom interview to record the author reading parts of her work so it can be disseminated for those who weren't able to make it to the live readings. An audio version of the book is next.

Now that the taxes are done, maybe it's time to check out a great book and follow in the footsteps of the author, Alexandra Hayne, whose book 'What Ruth Learned - A Novel' we published two days ago.
Here is a synopsis: Ruth Sullivan never expected to return to Los Angeles. But when her life stalls out, she is pulled back into the city of her childhood — and into the mystery of her family’s past. What begins as a quest to remake her own life becomes a journey through forgotten journals, faded photographs, and the glittering shadows of 1950s Hollywood.
In a dual-timeline narrative that spans decades, Ruth uncovers the truth about a woman who once called herself C-Note, a priest with a past, and a marriage that unraveled under the weight of ambition and silence. As Ruth pieces together the fragments of lives she never knew, she must confront her own choices, her fractured family, and the legacy she is poised to carry forward.
What Ruth learns does change her life, but not in the way she first imagined.
Available now in paperback, hardcover (case wrap and also with dust jacket), Apple ePub, and Kindle versions, either at your favorite bookstore around the corner or online. More information at https://culicidaepress.com/hayne-what-ruth-learned/
