Blue #bookstack for #bookstagram features the first edition of my #shortstories in #FragmentsofRiversong - and even tho the expanded 2025 #anniversary #edition (on the right) is prettier, this one has a special place in my heart 💜

Agree 😏

Though the most memorable #feedback I got on my #shortstorycollection #FragmentsofRiversong was from a reader in America, who he'd read it into the early hours to finish it, and called me #Scheherazade(!)

So, I HAD to mention him in the acknowledgements of the next edition of the #book! 😄

How amazing is it to see your OWN #book (in this case my #shortstorycollection, #FragmentsofRiversong) at the top of the recommended #reading list at your favourite #bookshop???

Honestly, *very*! 😀💜

This is so mad.

#America has gone MAD!!!

I have #American #readers who've ordered my #book #fragmentsofriversong and paid (the normal price) already.

How am I supposed to mail the #books to them from #SouthAsia now?!

Love that one of my #friends chose to give *her* #friend my #book #fragmentsofriversong along with this beautiful bouquet from her garden!

There are surely *few* things nicer for a #writer than for a #reader to say that her #story is an "empathetic narrative" & "perfectly captures" the setting 🙂

Was so happy to receive this feedback on my #book #fragmentsofriversong!

Was asked at a #book event why I only #wrote 1 #shortstory collection in 10 yrs.

Published 10th anniversary edition of #FragmentsofRiversong w/ 33% new #stories, after being primary adult for #family & sole caretaker of #parents in #pandemic yrs.

I'm just GRATEFUL the new #book is out! 😃 #amwriter

Love it when the parks are used for events like this Chinese New Year celebration ❤

Couldn't resist taking a pic w/ the new #FragmentsofRiversong #book - which contains 33% new stories!

I'm mailing international orders myself & it's available locally at Bookworm Bangladesh, Rokomari, Baatighar 😃

I love talking to people about #stories, #reading #novels and #shortstories, and signing (seated here) one of my own #fragmentsofriversong #books for a #reader!

How wonderful is it when a #reader posts a picture of your #book like this???

Made my day! 😃

In the 10th anniversary edition of my #book #fragmentsofriversong just out, I revised a #story titled The Silver Lining about a 5 yr old #refugee from the 1971 Bangladesh was and added material abt tho #dog she left behind who looks exactly like this one!

HOW ADORABLE is this #doggo?!

I rarely love my own pictures, but I love this one - so much so, it's my new #author photo!

I think it fits me better than any attempted a "glamour" shot 😁

What #writers sometimes need from their #friends, #family and above all, their #readers.

I think a huge reason I've been able to publish my #book #FragmentsofRiversong in 2024 is the support from them. SO grateful!
