Joy on book tour. Thanks to everyone who had shown up for #DancingWoman!🧡 @blairpub.bsky.social

Rosemary was such an insightful host. I loved talking with her.

Last night at @epiloguebooks.bsky.social with @literaryish.bsky.social where we talked about books and how we write them and what inspires us. Such an fun and compelling conversation. @blairpub.bsky.social

Mutual support and affection between novel writer and bookseller . Thanks @page158books.bsky.social and Sue Lucey.

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

Dancing Woman moves on to #Page158Books this Tuesday, Feb 11, 6pm. Come out and join the conversation!

Spotted at Madison Street Books in Chicago: Dancing Woman! Look for her wherever good books are sold! @blairpub.bsky.social

What a joyous launch at @quailridgebooks.bsky.social two nights ago. Currently #DancingWoman is circling the moon.🧡🧡 @blairpub.bsky.social

Join me and three other writers of historical fiction. Monday, Feb 3, 7 Central. You need to register.

Pub Day for #DancingWoman!❤️❤️ thank you, universe. #literaryfiction #southernwriters #novels #thearts #indiepress #indiebookstores #fiction #womenswriting @blairpub.bsky.social @spaldingwriting.bsky.social

Thanks to my generous friend @RoyHoffman for this interview in #NecessaryFiction. @spaldingwriting.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?

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

Thank you for the conversation and perfect summary.

Thank you so much for the conversation!

Fight for human freedoms and fundamental rights by supporting books that depict characters fighting for the right of free expression, art, and poetry. My book tour with Dancing Woman starts in two weeks. This is the beginning. Join us!

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.

First president I voted for. He led by conscience not political expediency. A true servant of humanity and his God.

On the fourth day of Christmas, Sammy gets the king chair.

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

Now the Christmas cactus is lighting a fire in the living room.

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.

Please pray, follow, repost this story for Beth Swanson @write4chocolate.bsky.social. Let’s use our collective voices to help this young girl & her family get the care they need. www.huffpost.com/entry/brain-...

Three Christmas cacti in for the holidays. I’m preparing to spend less in the coming Trump years.

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

New car for book tour with #DancingWoman @Blair vroom vroom

First fire of the season. #holidays #warmth #light #atmosphere #joy #writerslife
