I'm still waiting for my copy of your new book to arrive with great anticipation! I am such a fan. I've done all of the exercises in your watercolor book -- you have made me realize that I love to do watercolor and that I can do art. It only took me 60 years to get there! Thanks to you I have a whole new access to my creative side. I appreciate your blog as well. You are following your heart and it is taking you to some wonderful places!

By the way I LOVE the book. The entire book is a work of art. It is my new "coffee table" book.

Aw I loved reading this and I'm so glad you are leaning into the book tour! I am an introvert too, so I understand. Go you for stepping outside your comfort zone! I cannot wait to get my book at your Pittsburgh book tour event this weekend 🥰

Wonderful!! Uplifting, inspiring and fun. Yes, we introverts definitely need time to recharge and recover. Thankfully the sorts of people who want to connect with you seem to be similar souls. Your book has appeared on Australia’s Amazon lists now. I’m so thrilled for you. Thanks so much for sharing your art and your memories with us all.

My book arrived yesterday and it was easy to immediately become engaged in your Tiny Worlds world! I love your Trail Thoughts and all your stories. Your introverted nature comes through in the best possible way--imagine how encouraging you are to other introverts and everyone who wants a closer relationship with the Earth. What a treasure this book is, indeed!

Rosalie, I returned home from vacation and there was my preordered book! It’s beautiful and I am beginning a cover to cover slow read. I want to savor your work and prepare to be more engaged with the tiny world on my hikes. Thank you!!

Hi Rosalie, I was wondering if you will be coming up north at some point on your book tour. We would love to see you in Boston!

Hi Rosalie, If you're ever in the mood to visit the Cleveland Ohio region during a book tour, we have 4 great bookstores near my house(!!!) and perhaps one of them would be a good match. Loganberry Books is my personal favorite.

Congratulations on making a sweet book that is already beloved, and for embracing the classic motto of 'Do Hard Things'!

This is all so wonderful! I totally relate to the surprising joys of being an introvert on a book tour!

I can't begin to describe how much I am enjoying Tiny Worlds, and this peek behind the scenes at your process of even more generously sharing yourself with the world is amazing and affirming. Looking forward to meeting you on your book tour and getting my copy signed. Keep drawing!

Your presentation at the Byrd Center in Shepherdstown was fantastic. It was great to meet you in person briefly. I have been a volunteer at the Hog Island Audubon Camp several times and first heard of you through the video you did of your time there as artist in residence and have been following you since. I'm so pleased about the successful launch of this book. A fan in Hedgesville, WV

Rosalie! Blowing prismatic heart bubbles to you from France. Your post helped me let out a big sigh of relief about being an introvert in a loud and crowded world.

Can't wait to meet you at the blue ridge discovery center. I'm introverted and will probably be too anxious to actually approach you, but here's to thinking positive! LOL. Hoping to do the watercolor class too, although I'm bringing 4 small kids so who knows. Love your work!
