Thanks for the nudge in yr newsletter, Sharon! I'm so glad to find Josie on substack. I've excitedly pre-ordered Letters from Wonderland which will reach me in August here in Canada -- hurrayyy! Of course, am now subscribed to bimblings too.☺️
Arrrgh this is SO EXCITING! I still have all my OG Letters from Wonderland from all those years ago when we had our secret club! Can’t wait Josie - but how on EARTH did you manage not to explode and tell everyone before now?!
I thought I was going to pop some days! It's been so special developing the idea from those handmade beginnings. It felt like such a funny, brave thing to do back then - typing up and sending all those letters to strangers - but you were all utterly brilliant, and look where it lead! There's a big thank you at the back of the book for all my original supporters (like you!) xx
Yay, Josie this looks beyond wonderful! So happy for you, and for us lot, who get to dive into your luxurious and scrumptious writing. What a gift you are! ❤️❤️❤️.
I am so delighted to hear this news! Do you remember when we did a live together, in the early pandemic days, when your book was out? I remember that conversation so well and felt so changed by it. YOu changed the way I think and process the world, in some way. So to hear you have a new book coming, which is a journey of advenure and discovery in some way..that's a very real cause to feel excited!
Oh Clover, you inviting me to do that live chat meant the absolute world to me. I often think about it. I was really struggling to get publicity traction and marketing opportunities and you were SO kind and generous. It really did give me (and the book) an enormous boost. And THANK YOU! I can't wait for you to see it, it really is such a treasure.
Oh Josie, dear namesake, I am so happy for you. This news is brilliant. I love your concept, I just watched the ballet of Alice on Wonderland, and realised the influence that book had on me. Everyone needs wonder in their life, and you are the perfect writer for this. And what a beautiful secret to keep for three whole years. I will order letters from wonderland, and treasure it.
Looking fwd with a goodly measure of glee to the arrival of Letters from Wonderland come August here in Canada, Josie. A Still Life became one of my always-by-bedside books on first reading, and I recall trying to 'buy you a coffee' online about then -- don't kwow how successfully! ☺️ Very happy to have found you on substack, too --grateful to Dr Sharon Blackie for this, and for telling me/us about BOTH of your books in The Art of Enchantment. 'Salt of the Earth' in the spiritual sense, you two most amazing women who are writers.
Pre-ordered with much excitement. I discovered your writing on substack, found your thoughtful words like a breath of fresh air, currently reading your first book and absolutely love the idea of this gorgeous looking book. I'm hoping one or more of my kids will enjoy, but I have totally bought this for myself first and foremost!
Thrilled to bits. It sounds just perfect. Will share it in my next newsletter xx
Oh gosh that would be amazing, thank you so much! I can't wait for you to see it.
