EXCITING NEWS!  The wonderful syndicated columnist, Sharon Randall, whose columns I’ve been reading for years, has listed my new book, Telling Tales of Dusk, in her column of February 2, entitled, “My Recent Best Reads.”   Since my poetry collection is mentioned alongside  fabulous novels like The Help, by Kathryn Stockett and The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society, by Mary Ann Shafer and Annie Barrows, I feel very thrilled and honored!  So please check out her column in your local newspaper  or you can go to http://www.scrippsnews.com/content/randall-my-recent-best-reads and read it there. 

Of course, I hope  this endorsement will prompt billions of people from all over the country to swamp bookstores and crash the Internet in their fevered efforts to get a copy of Telling Tales of Dusk…  (I would also like a pony and a beach house, but I probably won’t get those wishes, either!)  At any rate, the column is, as usual,  a very fine one as Sharon Randall is a gifted writer and story teller.

Telling Tales of Dusk is all about telling a good story, from “Papa Fell Off the Porch” to ” The Belle of Bourbon Street, “(two poems from the book), and of course, the now famed (!) poem, “Tomato Sandwich.”  If you decide to give the book a read, please let me hear from you at tkerickson@triad.rr.com.  Joy and blessings, T.K.E.

(The book is in the LOCAL section near the information desk.  If you call, the employees at Borders will insist it is not there.  They will do the same if you ask them to help you find it.  This is because it is only in the LOCAL Borders at Thruway and not distributed nationally, so the book is not in their computer.  But I promise you, it IS there.  I delivered the books from my publisher, personally!
