I love that you singly loved YOUR place so well as to pour your creative heart into expressing that love. You have totally succeeded already no matter how many copies you sell. But I, for one, cannot wait to have that beautiful book in my hands!!

Come on east to Richmond. We have the lovely Fountain bookshop downtown and we have a guest room from which you can step to explore the tiny worlds of the Chickahominy swamp. I’m excited for my copy to arrive! Thank you for sharing your journey with us.

Congratulations on all of the effort this book took but especially for following through on an idea that gave you butterflies. I wholeheartedly agree with your definition of success and I think that is one of the most hopeful and sustainable ways to define success in any art project. I cannot wait for my copy to arrive and dive in!

Hello Rosalie....I think you should be so proud of your self for making it to the line with this book.....and even if it reaches and inspires just a handful of people that is a success, and one small step forward to appreciation of the wild and our natural environment. Many small steps make a big difference!

Hi Rosalie, What a great story about launching and letting go! It is a difficult thing for artists to do. We are always trying to figure out how to measure success. I hope you will be able to work out a date for something at the Virginia Wildlife Center in Waynesboro. Can't wait to get the book. Thanks for sharing your feelings about it!

This is such a spot-on, heartfelt summing up of the book publishing experience. I relate in so many ways! I also can’t wait to pick up my copy of the book and attend your event in Shepherdstown. (A friend of mine saw you recently at a nature journaling conference and said you brought her to tears ❤️) Thank you for sharing your passion with us!
