Today marks the birthday of Sylvia Beach, the Paris bookseller who changed the world when she decided to publish the renegade novel Ulysses by James Joyce.
Sylvia’s model of community, her passion for books and her tenacity that allowed her to carve out a life in Paris inspired me to write and publish my own book.
Chasing Sylvia Beach is the story of a young bookseller who longs for an adventurous life. She finds it in an unexpected trip back through time to Sylvia’s world in inter-war Paris.
To celebrate Sylvia’s birthday today, March 14th, 2013 I’m offering a deep discount on the Kindle version of Chasing Sylvia Beach. Get your copy today only for $4.99.

Happy First Anniversary on Sylvia. Too bad I’ve not warmed up to Kindle yet (will I ever?), but finally going to swing for the hard copy. I deliberately put it off since I was overwhelmed with other things and knew it would just add more stress to bring it in the house! But, finally finding a window, ordering today. Looking forward, maybe it’ll inspire me to really move overseas!

Thanks, Sandra! I’m not reading on a device yet, either, though I do see that day coming. I do like books and paper.
Glad you’re getting my novel and thanks so much!
You’re welcome, striving to make room for fun reading, not only spiritual or writing instruction. Like also finishing my MFK Fisher books sitting here on the shelf!
