My true story, "On Butterfly Wings," can be found in the book's last section, "Love that Doesn't Die," and is the very last story in the book.
"On Butterfly Wings" is a story about a special visitor my grandson Michael encountered on a field trip to the Sophia M. Sacs Butterfly House in St. Louis County.
In conjunction with the book's release, the Chicken Soup for the Soul publisher is kicking off a Twitter Party at noon CST, Tuesday, November 1st -- which happens to fall on the feast of All Saints.
The hashtag for the Nov 1 event is #CSSAngelsandMiracles.
On a related note, on November 17, I will be among the many local authors participating in the Local Author Open House at the Spencer Road Branch Library in St. Peters from 6-8 p.m.
During the library event on Nov 17, I will be available to talk about the story. I will also have copies of the book available, as well as the other Chicken Soup for the Soul books with my true stories.
Here's a link where you can find more information about the Nov 17 event.
P.S. I plan to post a reminder about the library event in Mid-November.
Donna--All of your stories are so moving. I'm sure this one is no exception.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. I guess they're late letting me know one of my stories is included in this collection? ;)
Thanks, Sioux. This one means a lot to me because it's about my daughter and grandson.
DeleteCongratulations on your butterfly story. I will see you at the library in a few days.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Linda. It will be good to see you again. Maybe those of us going can get together early for a bit to eat?
DeleteYea to you on a butterfly publish! Sounds like you are busy and productive. Good job.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Claudia. And you're productive as well. I read the poem you wrote that was published in the newspaper.
DeleteCongratulations, Donna! Hope you sell lots of books at the Library event on November 17. Wish I could be there for your talk. How many of your stories have been published by Chicken Soup for The Soul?
ReplyDeleteThanks, Clara. Our library does a great job of pulling more than 100 local authors from the area. I have four stories in six books. One story was in three different anthologies.
DeleteCongratulations Donna! That's exciting news. Wishing you well! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Karen!
DeleteCongrats, Donna!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Becky! Hope all is well with you.
DeleteCongratulations on your butterfly story!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Val. It's a special one for me. I'm really happy it made it in the anthology.
DeleteThat cover is gorgeous! Congratulations on another publication!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lisa!
DeleteCongratulations, Donna! Well done!
ReplyDeleteGood luck at the Open House - I'm sure it will go wonderfully. :)
Thanks, Madeline. I'm not wild about doing book signings and huge group appearances like that, but I'll be among a few friends, so that will make it easier.
DeleteCongrats, Donna! It's a beautiful book and I know your story is special.

Way to go, Donna! I'm happy you made it in the book and look forward to reading your story. Not sure if I'll be able to make the event, but good luck!
ReplyDeleteHi Pat,
ReplyDeleteThanks. I hope they seat us next to each other at the library again.
Hi Lynn,
Thanks. I'm happy too. Hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
