Breath In, Breath Out

Onward to Philly for my Sensual Sounds booksigning! My bags are nearly packed, my ticket's bought and paid for. All the details regarding my appearance at Horizon Books on Saturday, October 9 are coming along well. I'm there from 12-3.

This is my first time doing an extended signing, but as my friends often remind me, I'm always up for an adventure. But I'd also like to take time out to thank the prayer warriors who are keeping me encouraged. Some of you know I've had some unexpected challenges which threatened to derail this trip.

I'm sure many authors and others who travel to share their talents know the road isn't always smooth. So many issues can potentially cause severe doubts in one's calling to share their gifts. I've found myself in this boat many times. But as long as I remember that writing is a gift I've shared in good as well as lean times, then I'm okay.

One, two, three...I'm breathing in the joy the poems in Sensual Sounds have brought to countless people, some whom I've never met. This knowledge keeps me striving for better far more than I can ever express. Hold. Exhale all the negatives. In, out, in... All the while remembering one of the greatest tragedies in life is wasting one's talents.

Sensual Sounds is available on amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com. For more information regarding my writing journey, please visit Marcie Eanes-Poetry on Facebook.

My Adventures with Sensual Sounds

I know it's been ages since my last post, but I'm having a great time promoting my poetry book, Sensual Sounds. My travels have taken me to Los Angeles for signings at the AC Bilbrew Library and the LA Black Book Expo in August. Also did some private readings this summer. Wonderful experience.

Now I'm getting ready to come to the Philadelphia-New York area next month. I'm excitedly looking forward to sharing Sensual Sounds with the East Coast. I'm so thankful to all those working hard to make my appearances a success. No one can do it all by themselves.

Once again, thanks to all who purchased Sensual Sounds which is available on amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com. Thanks to all who've read rough drafts, sat in audiences, and cheered me on along the way. May you have techinicolor dreams too. Gotta go! Sensual Sounds is calling...
