September 18, 2024:
I am sorry to have to say that the publisher that has been considering my Tarot book for the past year (okay, not quite – only 10 months) has decided to pass. My book is too long for their typical formatting.
Which, if you are a faithful reader of my Card of the Week, will not surprise you.
After being pretty dejected for a few days by this setback, I’ve licked my wounds and chalked it up to par for the course in the writerly life. Now it’s back to the drawing board.
So I will be polishing up my submissions stuff, and trying again elsewhere. Here’s hoping my baby will find a publisher that will protect and support my vision. And absolutely NOT keep me dangling for almost a year.
Stay tuned…
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 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 lots of news and updates along the way!
