Thanks for such an interesting post Sarah and I LOVE that poem by Emily Dickinson. Makes me want to seek out some brightly coloured layers!

Love the interview and Liza’s thoughts on life and the emotional file - I def agree. And Liza, your books sound wonderful! I’ll see you at the book festival Friday evening, Sarah! (Wish I could have volunteered for more, but coaching duties…I’m really really proud of you for organizing this amazing festival).

Thanks, Amy, and you know I agree about the emotional filing cabinet too! Liza is a beautiful writer, and I'm looking forward to her next novel, which is set partly in Paris.... I get it about coaching duties! October is so full of activities and busy-ness... but will look for you on Friday!

Liza is one of my favorite writers for her beautiful story telling and her generosity. And I'm packing to head north for the book festival. I've got a fan club of people coming, about six excited for this event. It's a long time coming New Hampshire. Thank you for making it happen Sarah!

Thank you, Amy! So glad you enjoyed it! So much to read, so little time, both in the world of books and the world of Substack. And thanks for the good words re the book festival! I hope to report on how it went, in some future newsletter...
