All of you Boomer ladies who contributed poetry to the "Cosmic Brownies" anthology I helped Sun Rising Poetry Press with - there is now a "pre-order" link on the publisher's website. I'm not entirely clear on WHY they take pre-orders for books other than perhaps trying to get a ballpark of printing needs. ANYWAY, remember as a contributor you will get a FREE copy of the book from them (if you sent me or them your address).

If you want to order OTHER copies of the book at cost, the link is:

http://sun-rising-books.com/cosmic_brownies.html

If you aren't sure if you sent your address in when you contributed, send it to them NOW, mentioning the Cosmic Brownies anthology....send to:

donette@sunbooks.com

I have to say that I have no "inside" knowledge of when the book will be printed! I'm as in the dark as anyone else....remember I just did the editing for them as a volunteer. I'm hoping it's out before Christmas but who knows. If I get an update I'll share it with you for sure.

Hi Pam!

Thanks for the update. I'll put a link on my website.

Best,
Kelly

No book yet. I was hoping to give a couple for Christmas. Any news, Pam?

No updates from Sun Donna - I too was hoping to give some copies as gifts. The last update on the Sun Rising Poetry Press "news" Board was that they are furiously printing books....and "Brownies" is on the schedule - but they couldn't make any promises about WHEN specifically.

Waiting isn't my strong suit (!!) so just know that there are over forty of us who are in the same boat (contributors to the anthology that is).

I did send them a note the other day to say "Merry Christmas" but haven't heard back - too busy printing books to respond I guess.

Wish I could say "Brownies" will be in your Christmas stocking this year....

Hi, Pam. Don't feel bad. It's not your fault! I'm glad to hear they are printing books. So there are forty of us? I googled some of the names on the site, and we have quite a variety! I'm eager to see the writing from my fellow boomers, too. Thanks for the update!

Thanks Donna......I've been getting a lot of email from contributors and I hate to keep saying "I don't know" when they want to know timing on the release of the book. Yes we had forty contributors INCLUDING (as you know) Maya Angelou. I don't know the details on THAT contribution - it didn't come to me - but not a bad name to have on the list of contributors for a book WE are in - right????

Thanks for your patience...hopefully our patience will be rewarded SOON!

Pam

wow ! thats quite an honor to have Maya contribute to the book isn't it !!

sure hope they get it in print soon

Hi Pam: I was looking around in the website and noticed that my name is spelled wrong in the list of contributors .

Please, make sure the spell it correctly: It's Rhodi Alers de López , not Alerts de López.

Here's the link:

Thanks!

So I can say I'm published in a book with Maya? Woohoo! I'm a celebrity. lol!

Rhodi, my name was misspelled on that list, too, but Pam assured me it was spelled right in the manuscript. Hopefully that change was made for you, too!

I'd forgotten about this - now you've gotten me eager to see it again!

Where did you all find a list of who was in it? Did you see my name on the list?

Thanks,

Sherri
