Kicking off the fall with some new stationery (pictured above) from Zazzle. It arrived too late to use for the treasure hunt winners (those books went out earlier today), but I plan to use it for future mailings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The summer passed way too quickly, but I wanted to honor it with reports of a few highlights:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earthship, outside Taos, NM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had a chance to stay in an Earthship, a home that generates its own power, collects its own water, and features a lush interior garden\/water filtration system. Inspiring! And very beautiful. I may have to sign up to learn how to build one myself… https:\/\/earthship.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meowwolf in Sante Fe, NM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve been curious about the MeowWolf installation for a while now, and it does not disappoint! Loved the immersive mystery experience and all the vibrant art. https:\/\/meowwolf.com<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Etruscan Exhibit at the Legion of Honor, SF<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was thrilling to see the linen Liber linteus zagrabiensis, considered Europe’s oldest book (from the mid-third century BC) at the Legion of Honor’s Etruscan exhibit, along with many other items from that time and place. From the exhibition copy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“The Liber linteus zagrabiensis (Linen book of Zagreb) is the longest-surviving Etruscan text and the only known linen manuscript… The incomplete preservation of the Liber linteus is the result of its history. The original linen sheet, which contained the full text, was cut into strips and repurposed as wrappings for an Egyptian mummy during the Ptolemaic Dynasty, its secondary use ultimately saving the book due to Egypt’s dry climate.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you haven’t yet seen the exhibit, I highly recommend it. It closes Sept 20, so you’ll have to get there soon. More info here: https:\/\/www.famsf.org\/exhibitions\/etruscans-heart-ancient-italy<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m not ready to say hello to fall, but it’s nearly here. I’m hoping to finish a first draft of my new novel over the coming months. Read on for more about<\/a>\u00a0my recent novel, The Expert of Subtle Revisions<\/em>, and what reviewers are\u00a0saying<\/a>. Thanks for stopping by!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
