Upcoming Print Release
Much as I adore my Kindle, I’m still a sucker for print books: their heft, their smell, their ineffable comfort. There are pictures of me as an infant cuddling books like other babies hug stuffed animals, so apparently I’ve always had an attachment to books as objects as well as books as stories. Not surprisingly, print releases have a special place in my heart.
And Knowing the Ropes comes out as a print book on February 4. Soon, I’ll have a lovely picture with a stack of print books, to prove to you it’s real. But it’s on its way. In print. Solid, beautiful, and perfect for gift-giving. Heck, I’m sending one to my mom. Mind you, I don’t recommend that unless you know your mom’s pretty open-minded, since it is a book about BDSM and bondage. My mom’s a theater person from way back and is basically unshockable, but I’ve warned her not to let the housekeeper see this one, since that good lady’s Christian, salt-of-the-earth heart might give out.
On the other hand, wouldn’t it make a nice Valentine’s Day present? Shared read-alouds are such a lovely way to spend a winter night or six….
