A November Visit: Poems, Stories, Company – ebook & audiobook

$20.00

HOORAY! Here is my brand new ebook of “Novemberish” stories, poems, and seasonal delights, including Irish folklore, a taste of etymology, a recipe for a truly wonderful cake, a good riddle, and a cast of characters that includes giants, hags, ghosts, foxes, owls, magical musicians, mermaids, a mysterious baker, and many more.

The accompanying audiobook, which includes everything in the ebook, opens the door for you to three hours of warm, intimate, company-keeping with me.  It sounds like a dream because it was professionally recorded, mixed, and mastered by the amazing Lauren Passarelli. If you’ve ever wanted my voice in your ear, well, here it is – and you know that I LOVE to do all the voices and savor every inflection.

Your purchase receipt includes three download links – the ebook itself, and the two parts of the audiobook. Please note that this is a virtual offering (rather than a physical CD or printed book).

The contents of this book are in many ways the contents of my heart. I am so grateful to you for your interest in “meeting” it and me in the bleak and beautiful world of November.

 

Description

This book gathers together poems, stories, rhymes, proverbs, journal entries, recipes, essays, songs, and other things that meet my very subjective judgment of what is “Novemberish.”

Between the parties of earlier in the fall and the parties to come later in winter, we travel through a windy, darker, colder time.

Certain unpleasant realities dawn on us.

Thoughts we staved off in busier times return and knock firmly on the door.

My hope is that this collection of Novemberish items will be good company to you in those bleak seasons, whether they take place in November or in other parts of your life.

Not to deny or cover over the darkness, because trying to do so is ill-advised and ultimately impossible.

Not to make it less, either, than the seasons of warmth and light.

No.

We need November.

And if a friend appears to walk beside us under the blustery, dripping sky, so much the better.
