October, 2025:
As promised, I am keeping you updated. Alas, I heard back from the publisher — yes, already. Despite the lovely-seeming kismet that had led up to my submission, they declined my project in only two weeks.
It was a gracious rejection, but a very clear one nonetheless. Ouch.
So now I am brushing off my bruises, drying my tears, and preparing to cast a wider net.
In an odd way, despite my busted balloon, I am more determined than ever that I have a book for you that will be worth waiting for. My takeaway is that it might be too big of a project for the smaller presses I’ve approached so far.
Anyway, thank you to my true friends and boosters for your ongoing encouragement. I trust that, as readers of my Card of the Week, you know my “voice,” and feel that perhaps I have something worth contributing to the world of Tarot texts.
Stay tuned for further updates.
The Backstory
Once upon a time …
When I started my blog in 2003, I wanted to initiate conversations on a wide-ranging platform of magical topics. But I also knew that I would focus on my true love, the Tarot.
So I began pulling one card every Monday morning, and then writing about it, for whoever happened across my site. No other layout cards, just a card a week.
Thus, my Card of the Week began. I’ve now written over 1,000 of these weekly analyses.
Over the years, my clients, students, site visitors, colleagues, and friends asked, nudged, urged, and finally prevailed upon me to consolidate all my posts into an organized reference book.
I will continue to post one card a week, but no longer keep an ongoing archive, since that’s what the book will be. Makes sense, right?
And after that?
Stay tuned for news and updates along the way!
