We’ve had snow, ice, and rain in the first two weeks of my book tour but the light keeps shining in. Ask for Dancing Woman at your local bookseller or order it from Bookshop.org

What I’m reading on MLK day. @angelajacksonbrown.bsky.social ’s new novel, #Untethered, set during the #CivilRightsEra. One woman is trying to make a difference while keeping herself whole. Isn’t that what we must all do?

Thanks to Lee Smith for this unsolicited review. This book’s pub day is Tuesday come hell or, SNOW. Fortunately you can order it from the warmth of your home. This is a feminist book. Perfect for this moment. @blairpub.bsky.social
