Gail Storey’s gal-lant memoir I Promise Not To Suffer: A Fool For Love Hikes the Pacific Crest Trail, winner of the Barbara Savage Award, and now winner of the 2013 National Outdoor Book Award!
Brave, honest, fall-down funny, I Promise Not To Suffer is Gail Storey striding into a passel of challenge. She claws up rocky mountainsides—in perfect indecorous fashion—sweats sticky-stinky through deserts, postholes across snowfield mush, grappling for the balance not to drown in roiling creeks, or deep-water matters of the heart. In her quest to blossom as the consummate trekking partner, she emerges, most dearly, an unabashed sister to us all, and, most definitely, a woman-of-the-wild. www.gailstorey.com
And, here I am last Saturday celebrating Small Business Day in Chapter One Book Store in Hamilton, Montana, selling and wrapping books for Indies First (along with a thousand other authors across the country. Indies First—or “authors supporting Indies”—is the brainchild of noted author Sherman Alexie. He began the movement in September via an open letter addressed to fellow authors, asking them to “ . . . be a superhero for independent bookstores [and] spend an amazing day hand-selling books at your local bookstore . . . .”
I’ve long espoused buying books from independent bookstores. As the Mom & Pop’s go, so will the world, and its authors.
Please bare with; I’m in the process of transferring the Archives and Comments to this new site, and finishing mobile compatibility.
