OK here I am . . . I have navigated four months of non-stop publishing with a modicum of success and so far have avoided the asylum, tho I was tempted mid-October to check myself in to someplace far away and quiet. In this short span I put out the Equinox, which featured 70 poets, writers and artists this year, and released it promptly on the actual equinox, Sept 21, at a boisterously fun, standing room only release and reading party at Mocha Maya's coffeehouse-- a great deal of fun for all who attended. A really happy day and good memory. I followed that with two really fine chapbooks. On Sept 23 I released Lea Banks' All of Me and then on Nov 6 I released To a Careless Sailor by Cyn J Horton. These beautiful, exceptional chapbooks, which feature fresh, compelling voices, are available in limited, handcrafted editions; you can find ordering info at my web site, www.thebooksmyth.com.
In addition, I designed and set up for print-on-demand two paperback books, both of them memoirs by local ladies with literary flair who have enjoyed long, rich lives; it was a pleasure to work with them.
The highpoint of my year so far, tho, is not literary but political. Much to our good fortune, a fine young man of considerable gravitas ran for, and won, the presidency this year. He's the best to run for this office in a great long while, it was icing on the cake that he was also a man to break historic barriers.
