I launched another book!
We had a book launch December 1st. If you were there let me know what you thought. I thought it was fun. My publisher and editor were there. Friends came virtually and in person. I got to be the center of attention. They sat and actually listened to me read my book, my art! Check it out. And then they asked questions about my life and my opinions. It doesn’t get better than that.
We discussed about the novel series, Eco Woman, and in particular the second in the series. It’s called Initiation. It’s a wonderful story about the superheroine’s continued battle to find herself, her ancestry and to own her power to save what she can on the planet. It’s a great escape at a time when we can all use a little positive distraction. She gives us hope and although some people say hope is a set up, I believe it spurs people to action.
This story moves Maeve from the hills of upstate New York and the cliffs of the Pallisades down the Hudson River and into the Atlantic. It introduces a few new witches and warlocks, all of whom meditate by the way, and connects with some amazing creatures. Her battle for the Light continues and she discovers that things are not always how they seem.
We discussed characters, especially our superheroine, Maeve and how they were born. But we also talked about science. Particularly PCB’s – poly carbonate byphenals – from the first Eco Woman adventure and then we dove into fish farming and human trafficking, pollution and finally landed on the dock of community concluding that’s the only way to solve problems. Start the discussion. Eco Woman starts people thinking about the things that affect us right now. And Maeve helps us know that we can fix things and she lets us believe it, we can.
A wonderful part was we discussed the upcoming March retreat focused on yoga and creativity, specifically writing but opening the body and spirit to the creative process. Attendees have an offer of an amazing 50% off but we’ll be running an early bird special soon. Stay tuned and make sure to follow on instagram @fanny_barry.
Read the books, share a review! Let Eco Woman spur you to make small changes that can change the world. We’ve begun the discussion, let it spur you to action.
