My afternoon
Donna Cook at Mennonite Press called this afternoon and said my books were printed and packaged and ready to go!
So, I went to Newton and picked them up. My car was riding low to the ground.
While in Newton, I checked with Holly Nickel at Pages Books and Coffee to see if she’d want to stock some Flyover People books and she said yes! So, I made my first sale 10 minutes after I picked up my books.
This is a great little bookstore. If you’re in the Newton area, stop by 605 N. Main Street and support your independent bookseller! I’ve purchased books here myself.
This photo is B.F., before the fence (water main construction in front of the store). I was so giddy this evening that I forgot to take a photo at Town Crier. But I stopped by when I got into town and left a few copies at Town Crier, my beloved hometown independent bookseller. They have the most wonderfulest people working there. Seriously.
I hadn’t expected the books until Friday, so today was a surprise.
Anyway, the book is now available at Town Crier Bookstore ($15 plus tax) in downtown Emporia.
And it’s available on my Quincy Press website. ($20 which includes shipping and all applicable sales tax.)
Yeah! I think you will find this to be a brand new passage in your life, Cheryl, with serendipitous turns and insights into the people who, like you, love our state. You will never return to the place you were yesterday.
I appreciate your sharing your personal journey in the process of bring your selected essays to print. I know this was a daunting task. Your judgment with Leon’s input has produced a quality anthology that will be your Kansas through your eyes, senses and words.
YAY!! I can’t wait to buy a copy for myself and get some for gifts.
Hi Cheryl, for some reason I am just now discovering flyoverpeople.net. I followed some links from KANSAS Mag. facebook page and ended up here! Living in Emporia for 20 years and now in Topeka the last 4+ I feel like I found an long lost friend. Congratulations on the book I will definitely have to get a copy. The years have made me much more involved with Kansas in the nature and photography end and am looking forward to reading the great stories for a complete Kansas experience.
Take care
We are so excited for you and can’t wait for them to start flying off the shelves. You have worked hard for this and we couldn’t be more happy to be a part of it!!!
Congratulations! It’s just wonderful, how you describe your home and make those who have never seen Kansas feel like they have been there. I look forward to getting a copy.
In the words of Ben Franklin:
“If you would not be forgotten
As soon as you are dead and rotten,
Either write things worthy reading,
Or do things worth the writing.”
Congratulations on your new book!
WHEN are we having a book-signing party?? I need an autographed copy–well, I’ll need more than just one!
Ele – the launch party is at Town Crier. Wed, Sept. 1, 5 pm- 7 pm!
Of such things are legends made.
What is the address for the Town Crier Bookstore in Emporia? I will be going thru there in a few days and would like to stop.
Nicki, Town Crier is at 716 Commercial. Right now, the city is rebuilding the water main and so there’s a fence up in front of the block. You can get through the fence at the end of the block.
Or you can park in the parking lot behind the building and there’s a breezeway half-way through the block and you can get to Town Crier that way.
Thank you!
Cheryl, we just ordered 2 copies from Quincy Press…can’t wait to read it! Congratulations, Author!
Sandy
Wonderful. Thank you, thank you, Sandy!
