Look what I found in the mail! Actually several boxes were stacked on the road outside the gate at the ranch headquarters, where fortunately I found them before today’s rain and snow showers did!
Today is my mother’s birthday. I would say that I have received the biggest gift on her birthday, in addition to her being born, except that my sister, Terry Tobey, and my niece, Boots Tobey, are visiting my mother in person today—how wonderful is that?
Still, boxes of books and swirls of moisture make for a happy day of renewal and new arrivals. Hau‘oli lā hānau!

OMG!! How exciting, Kat!!! I can only imagine the thrill you must be feeling.
How will you market your book?
Who published your book?
With palms pressed together, I bow to you.

Thank you, Erica! Torrey House Press is the publisher. https://www.torreyhouse.org/desert-chrome
Along with friends and family and the publisher, we’re getting the word out, and will follow with mostly online events. Maybe later in the year I can do an in-person one in Santa Fe, and see you!
That is wonderful! It just started raining in Farmington! Good news your books arrived!

Rain and books have always gone together well!
What a story! And what a recovery! Just to think of the horror of finding them all soggy and ruined. omg. Disasters that didn’t happen make good stories. Happy Book Day To You! Love love h
