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.

New Review - by a Man

So, fellas, Dancing on Mars isn't for women only!   Two guys who read it said it helped them understand women better.  In a message to me rather than reviews.   Incentive enough to give it a read? 

An Excellent Read for Woman or Man, March 24, 2013

This review is from: Dancing on Mars (Paperback)
Lucinda Shirley has turned her spiritual and psychological journey into a real adventure for the reader. It is a page turner about the efforts and courage involved in leading a real and complete life. Dancing on Mars is funny and intelligent. It has a light touch but is also profound which is quite an accomplishment for any writer. I especially liked the greek chorus of very good poems. Smoke and Mirrors and The Unknowing amoung others come to mind as being exquisite.
