Finally, a video. Filmed in Stygian gloom, and with mad hair – now waist-length, the stuff is absolutely impossible to civilize – it’s nothing like a professional video, which I felt was appropriate: the hi-gloss, hi-res, lipsticked magazine persona has no place here. This is how I am at home, with my husband and child. The book was written from the fulcrum of my bereavement, and I have no interest in marketing it like cat food.
So: from me to you, The Eclipse.

‘I crave the ordinary with an intensity that can blind me.’ This is one of the lines from your book which just floors me. To hear you read it out loud gave me shivers. You have a beautiful voice.
The only thing I did not like about The Eclipse was that the text is extra small making it difficult , for me at least, to read for long. Are all copies like this?

The font size is infuriating. Only an ant could read it without squinting. And yes, all copies are the same. However, the second edition will be different.
Thank you for your kind words. The series will, I think, run to six or eight videos.

Any word on when the second edition of The Eclipse will available? Would love a copy with larger font even though I treasure my signed ‘ant’ version.

The new edition will be out within the next three months THANK GOD. One thing I didn’t know about motherhood: you will never be on time again. EVER. They don’t tell you that. The current backlog? Terrifying. Tasks and projects dating back to 2005. However: better that than being an inattentive mother. You are wonderful to be so patient; thank you.
