Book launch par-tay

Thank you to the Joseph Campbell Foundation for publishing my book, The Practice of Enchantment: MythBlast Essays, 2020-2024. This book is a collection of essays inspired by the work of Joseph Campbell. I love to write about how myth enlivens and maybe even enchants everyday life, and that’s what I had a chance to do in this book.

I’ll be celebrating at Author’s Note bookstore in Medina NY on Nov 23, and I’ll discuss the book on two free webinars: one with the Campbell Foundation on Dec 7, 2024, and one hosted by the Fates and Graces on Jan 4, 2025.
