Priya Parmar's Writing Year
Plum Bean is a catch phrase in my family for going out on a limb and following that inner directive that tells you to do something absolutely contrary to logic, reason, common sense and statistics. Plum Bean has led me to move to a country where I knew no one (twice), talk to strangers, ask a famous playwright if she might like my help (amazingly she did), meet my best friends, jump off a cliff, do a PhD, bring home stray animals and write a novel.
This blog is about my adventures in publishing, writing, reading and generally living a plum bean life.
I am so happy you are here.
Priya
ps: For an early review copy of VANESSA AND HER SISTER, please contact my lovely publicist Jennifer Garza at Ballantine/Random House. jgarza

ReplyDeleteweird, I left a comment yesterday but it seems to have disappeared. It's also on Baker & Taylor's website, and I'll bet it's on Ingram's too. I also found it on Goodreads.com. Do you have the back cover copy yet? There's not much in the way of description out there.
ReplyDeleteFèlicitations Priya! How exciting for you. I wish you every success that you so richly deserve!
ReplyDeleteI will definitely get a copy, will it be available in France?
I am so happy for you!
