Coming March 25, 2025

Now open for preorders: bellepointpress.com/products/sec...

#bookbirds #writing #authors #newreleases
Book cover of levee steps with a rail, with overgrown grass on its sides and leading up to a blue sky. In white letters are the title Secret Keepers, the word Stories, and my name. Back cover says: "In Teresa Tumminello Brader’s follow-up to her New Orleans memoir, Letting In Air and Light, Secret Keepers expands the question of whether we can ever truly know our loved ones. This collection of character-driven short stories delves intimately into romantic and family relationships—some fractured, some fragile, all troubled by mysteries for which there may be no clear answers. One woman convinces herself of a husband’s affair that may or may not be imagined; other families struggle to rebuild amidst the wreckage of hurricanes and severed family ties. Compelling stories of betrayal and regret intertwine with thoughtful depictions of strong women seeking more authentic lives. Within the familiar world of South Louisiana, Brader’s characters navigate obsession, loss, and a tentative hope that some connections are still worth trying to keep." Release date: 3-25-25

I may, or may not, be considering getting back on the horse. It’s 11 months since I finished the last novel, and an itch is starting that may need scratching.

I was raised in a utopian commune where children ran wild. Only years later did I realise how much danger came with that freedom
It was all I knew: a radical, hippy, back‑to‑nature fantasy where children and adults were meant to be equals. But was it as idyllic as it seemed?

It took a little while to get my Bluesky account up and running because this is what I used to set it up... but here I am!!

Happy Friday #bookbirds!

I cannot remember the books I've read any more than the meals I have eaten; even so, they have made me.

As a parallel reading project I highly recommend "Ahab (Sequels)" by Pierre Senges and "The Alexandria Quartet" by Lawrence Durrell. The notions of relationships and connections (people, places, things...) in both books really complement each other in surprising and exciting ways.
