Today is national #live #creative day: a celebration of live art and art instruction. The only better way to celebrate than actually seeing #art live is to read about one of the pioneers of modern #dance the late Joan Stone of the #universityofkansas.

Sunday was international #cat day. Cats being smarter than humans spend their days lying in the #sun but humans being more industrious than cats #read when they lie in the #sun. A good #book can almost make you a cat.

Today is national #saint day. The Saint, a #detective character by #Chinese-American polymath Leslie Chataris is in the #publicdomain as of this year. While the detective novels we publish aren’t as swashbuckling the titles by G.P. Gottleib and Jerry Masinton are still good fun.

On this #culturalcommunityday Anamcara Press wants to give a shoutout to Leonard Krishtalka the author of a number of mystery novels about #anthropology #paleontology and the #culture of both those disciplines and the people who are affected by them.

Yesterday marked the start of #oldfashionedfiddledays and if you like #oldfashioned #music and #fiddles you’ve probably heard a #childballad or two. Connlyn Sinclair’s Young Robin Hood recasts the child ballads for the whole family fiddle not included.

TODAY is my OFFICIAL publication day! Which means: if you have nice things to say about it, you can do so on Goodreads, Storygraph & Amazon. (Or not-nice things, but maybe wait?) Thanks to @anamcarapress.bsky.social & @watermarkbooks.bsky.social & those who pre-ordered & reviewers. 📸: AbediniSocial

#Earthday might be over but #earth lives on and to experience her somewhat differently we recommend Randy Kidd’s Nature Walking With #Cancer

#author and #activist Iris Craver captured the rhythms and movement of #dailylife in #LawrenceKS ‘s most overlooked neighborhood in this wonderful volume. A great buy during #nationalpoetrymonth

Author David Hann isn’t a fool but the #stories of #fun, #fear & #folly contained in Bluebirds to Tikal capture something of the #renaissance entertainers where the #aprilfool got his name. Celebrate the 4 Fs and get your own copy.

#jest in #middleenglish meant #history so perhaps you can call Will Averill a #jester as he tells this #emotionallytrue story of life in #lawrenceKansas which is funny and bold. Get yours in honor of April fools.

If you wanna crack up or cry this #aprilfools the book to get is Kansas Genexistential the incredibly #funny collection of #essays by Amber Fraley which tickle both the #nostalgia bone and the #funnybone

Happy St. Pat’s! I’m a lucky lass. Today = 2 months from my book’s “official” publication, thanks to @anamcarapress.bsky.social Press (“anam cara” = Celtic “soul friend”) & pals. Thanks to faerie magic, actual books will exist sooner! And thanks to @watermarkbooks.bsky.social for my 4/30 event.
