We’ve had snow, ice, and rain in the first two weeks of my book tour but the light keeps shining in. Ask for Dancing Woman at your local bookseller or order it from Bookshop.org

That’s my novel, #DancingWoman, in the window at #McIntyre’sBooks. It pairs well with a plush Valentine pillow. @blairpub.bsky.social

What I’m reading on MLK day. @angelajacksonbrown.bsky.social ’s new novel, #Untethered, set during the #CivilRightsEra. One woman is trying to make a difference while keeping herself whole. Isn’t that what we must all do?

Elaine Neil Orr @elaineneilorr.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

This Wednesday, warm up with Dancing Woman set in northern Nigeria. A woman is looking for herself amidst cultural, personal, and political unrest. This is a quintessential story but surprisingly told.

Thanks to Lee Smith for this unsolicited review. This book’s pub day is Tuesday come hell or, SNOW. Fortunately you can order it from the warmth of your home. This is a feminist book. Perfect for this moment. @blairpub.bsky.social

For me: 1. Archeologist. I just want to go places and dig. 2. Modest seamstress of fabric home goods like aprons and pillows. 3. Gardener. We’re back to digging in the dirt.

I turned around and there on the shelf right under Southern Fiction was my brand new novel, Dancing Woman. Out before its official pub date in my local bookstore. Quite a thrill on Little Christmas Eve. #books #fiction #southern #DancingWoman #globalliterature #womensfiction

Last exam of the fall this morning and then I don’t teach for all of 2025. I’m devoting the year to the care and tending of my new novel #DancingWoman with @blairpub.bsky.social After 35 years of teaching, it’s time.

A class act. The country was not ready for positivity. They want more turmoil and hate.
