About This Blog

Welcome!

Dancing on Mars ( published by All Things That Matter Press)—is available for Nook at Barnes and Noble online and at Amazon in paperback, Kindle, and audio. To check out reviews or order your own version: http://www.amazon.com/Dancing-Mars-Lucinda-Shirley/product-reviews/0985006617/ref=sr_1_1_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1


One reader says, "Dancing on Mars is a genre-bender, mixing interview, memoir and original poems. It's a feast, not an appetizer!"

Here's how author Cassie Premo Steele describes it: "They say 'the truth shall set you free,' and here it is: a truth-telling memoir about growing up in the small-town, segregated South—politics, sex and religion; relationship, marriage and motherhood; loss, healing, feminism and enlightenment; and the bare beauty of a life by the water's edge. . . ."

There are also some fascinating insights from other women on the subject of living married and single lifestyles— and a sprinkling of original poems to amplify relevant prose.

One reviewer says, "This is EveryWoman's book—every age, every experience. You will laugh, cry and learn through this fascinating, honest and courageous journey to one woman's truth, but you won't put it down." A few wise men have enjoyed it and learned more about women.

You'll find a book trailer here and photos from the hometown in Dancing on Mars. I'll be posting comments and sharing book reviews, writing about themes presented in the book, and sometimes commenting on the events of the day. Humor will be in the mix; it's a high-value aspect of my life.

What a joy to see old friends and meet a few new ones at the signing for Dancing on Mars at Rosewood Market in Columbia, South Carolina.  


                   SCENES FROM ROSEWOOD




Rosewood Market's founder and owner, Basil Garzia welcomed me by announcing the signing in their newsletter and having a tent set up. Very nice!  My friend Fran Massa George (who happens to manage the personal care and supplements department there) had gifted me with a beautiful cloth she made for the signing table!  During the afternoon old friends from the Senate, from the Wellspring health advocacy years, and even friends from childhood showed up to say hello and have their books signed.  What a great reunion it turned out to be!   My friend Cora Plass surprised me with a  vase of elegant flowers, fresh from the florist.  Thank you, Cora and Fran!  And of course I'm grateful to Basil for hosting me and making Dancing on Mars available locally .  AND I thank all of you special humans who took time to visit.  I won't try to name you all because I'd be sure to leave at least one out  (Murphy's Law)... and I met some cool new people, too!   So much fun.    I'll post a few photos - and some of those taken weren't worthy of posting because the subjects are SO much better looking than the pictures.  If your picture doesn't show up here, it's just me being merciful, doing what I'd want you to do for me.  We need to get together and have a re-take!
