"...The owl was undeniably odd. The first time Sylvia had seen it, perched upon a statue and leached of color by moonlight, she had thought it was a bizarrely well-preserved portion of an otherwise badly weathered marble of Athena. When the bird had swiveled its head around and fixed her with a piercing glawkous stare, she had nearly yelped in shock. Since then the raptor had been lingering in the vicinity of the camp... as if waiting for them to do something interesting..."
Hi All!
Some folks have been asking what kind of book I'm currently writing, so I thought I'd put a little note out to keep everyone up-to-date. I'm presently writing a non-fiction book about my own experiences with my first year of wearing a corset. I've had so many people approach me expressing interest and curiosity, and so many fun experiences that wouldn't have happened without the corset, that it seemed time to tell the story that people have been requesting for a while now. I'm hoping to have the book done by the end of the year. (Whew -now that I've publicly stated a deadline, the pressure's on!) I've already had requests from people wanting to be notified when it's ready; if you'd like to be added to that list, feel free to send me an e-mail: [email protected] In the meantime, everyone welcome to check out the web-site showcasing my antique clothing collection: www.chrismancollection.weebly.com It includes some fun pictures of Victorian fashion presentations that my husband and I have done in the past. Have a great day! Sarah "...A quick walk brought Emma to a quadrangle of imposing edifices enclosing a courtyard filled with cherry trees..." -From A Dream On Two Wheels
(Photo of morning light in the University of Washington's famous "quad") As I visited the Smithsonian Natural History Museum this weekend and had fun examining the kangaroos in the Hall of Mammals, I was wearing my Victorian sweetheart hat. Little did I know that when I got home I would find an order from Victoria, Australia, for a copy of A Dream On Two Wheels! Lots of thanks to the folks at Vignette Press -happy reading, and cheers!
This makes the third continent, and the fourth country, to which Aegis and Owl books have shipped: North America (USA and Canada), Asia (Japan), and Australia. I always said that I wanted my books to go even more places than I have, and I couldn't be more delighted to see that wish coming true. Thank you, everyone! P.S. I hope I haven't offended any Australians with the comment about the kangaroos -I do know there are other things in your marvelous country! I had the luck recently to be offered a book-swap from another self-published author. You can read his comments about A Dream On Two Wheels here:
http://nomediakings.org/books/roundsdoctors_and_hexslingers.html "...As she was struck by the new-building smell of the place, she reflected that the shiny, fresh structure that housed the Computer Science department was oddly incongruous with its rodent-like denizens. Rat-like, they scurried furtively under the artificially lit vaulted ceilings, as though pursued by some ancestral memory of talons which might descend at any moment from above. Typical of the Computer Science department, that it would have students hanging around even on weekends, thought Emma..."
And another Aegis & Owl book is off to an exciting location! Special thanks to Steffan of Friday Harbor, Washington. Enjoy the short stories!
Here's some exciting news on the international front: an Aegis & Owl art-book edition of The Selected Short Stories of Sarah A. Chrisman has been ordered for shipment to Japan! Special thanks go out to Akemi in Ishikawa, for her purchase of this beautiful work of art. The blue-green shot-silk on the spine was hand-woven in Thailand, and the textured endpapers are from India, so this is quite the international edition! Happy reading, Akemi!
"...Something seemed to pass through the crowd after security had been cleared and we moved over the Niju-bashi, the special bridge which marked the entrance to the palace grounds which only ever felt the feet of ordinary mortals on this and one other day every year. A hush rippled through the crowd, as though we were entering a great cathedral open to the sky, and the excitement grew..." -selection from "The Samurai" excerpted from The Selected Short Stories of Sarah A. Chrisman
