A couple of days ago I said the pre-order for my new book (ELJ Editions) would be available in a couple of weeks. But: it’s available now!!!! PRE-ORDER SCRAP HERE
This book–flash nonfiction with some reflection pieces, a few poems, a short play script–in other words, very hybrid and an engaging (I think) read–is the end result of my memoir writing for the past SEVENTEEN YEARS. Yeah, no kidding.
If you’d like to purchase a paperback copy ahead of time and be one of the first to get your SCRAP when it comes out in March, please click the link above or the cover image below to get to the pre-order page on the publisher’s website.
For an idea about the book, here is what Kathy Fish, acclaimed flash fiction writer and writing teacher has to say about SCRAP:
Borne of shame and trauma, the secrets uncovered in Luanne Castle’s hybrid memoir reveal her father’s complicated childhood and the impact it had on their relationship. Told in brief, strikingly vivid fragments, and through various perspectives and forms, the book as a whole presents a deeply moving and unforgettable account. We readers are privileged to bear witness to this emotional excavation, one that ultimately reminds us that love is powerful even when it’s painful and that forgiveness is the only way forward. Scrap: Salvaging a Family is a gorgeous and brilliantly original collection. I highly recommend it. ~Kathy Fish, author of Wild Life: Collected Works

Thanks so very much, Merril!
You’re welcome, Luanne!
Congratulations Luanne. I note your previous books can be obtained in Australia via Amazon. Do you think this one will make its way to that distribution method in time?
Also, I’ve just resubscribed to writersite.org under a new email address. When I know that is working, I will unsubscribe my old email. Don’t worry … I am not leaving you 🙂
Thank you, Gwen! And thanks for letting me know about your subscription. I’m glad to hear they are available in Australia!!! I sure hope this one will be, but this one will eventually be available as an ebook, as well.
I’m ordering, but PayPal isn’t working right now, but I’m determined–I’ll keep checking back. (Your journey to this memoir and my journey to the new novel both have looooong tails)
Oh, thank you so much! It feels great to come to the end of that long journey,but wow the journey is HARD.
Awesome. Just preordered my copy 🙂 xo
Yay, thank you so much, Marie!!!!
