Marie, my wife, is reading The 53rd Parallel
She started yesterday, after our early morning bike ride. I walked into the living room and there she was, reading my book. Later I found her in her office, reading my book. I couldn’t believe it. I had never seen anyone read a book I wrote, and here I saw the most important person in my life, reading my book. After our Mother’s Day brunch she picked it back up again, and all day long she read my book. She knew something about the stories, of course, but had never read the book. I was fascinated by how uplifted I felt each time I walked into the room and saw her reading it.
Thanks honey. I hope you had as nice a Mother’s Day as I did watching you read The 53rd Parallel.
We will be holding a launch party for The 53rd Parallel on June 5th, at 7 pm, at The Makery in Durham. The plans are just coming together, but we intend to have a fun time developing both the Irish and the Indian themes of the book, in the music we play and the refreshments we serve. We already have a couple of surprises in the works. Join us.
