So many of the bloggers/friends who helped me publicize my first two books are gone now for one reason or another. So very sad that its only been 2 1/2 years. So if anyone who comes along and reads this has a blog where I can talk about the book I would really appreciate it. A review, an interview, whatever makes sense and you are comfortable with. The book comes out in early March.
Praise for I BRING SORROW
"Patricia Abbott's collection of stories are just electric and utterly amazing. The short story form is perhaps the most difficult to achieve artistry in, and in I BRING SORROW, Patricia Abbott joins the very select few like, Frank O Connor, Raymond Carver, De Maupassant, and Dahl who have not only mastered this art but brought something entirely new to the genre. A dark, captivating collection.”
―Ken Bruen, author of the Jack Taylor series
"Patricia Abbott shows a rare and quiet mastery of the form. Any one of the stories in I BRING SORROW is worth the price of admission.”
―Reed Farrel Coleman, New York Times bestselling author of WHAT YOU BREAK

Soon as I can get an ebook I'll praise it on Facebook and my blog. (Let's hope I get the title right! ;)
I have this on pre-order and I am very much looking forward to it. I loved the Ken Bruen blurb.
I'm really excited for you, Patti, and I'll certainly talk it up on my March Crime Fiction News Break broadcast. This is great news!
If you want to send me a "How I Wrote I BRING SORROW" piece I'll post it on my blog.
Or, if you prefer, send me a faux-BY THE BOOK interview where you tell us what books are on your nightstand, what books made you laugh and made you cry, and what three famous writers you'd invite to dinner.
I also have the book on pre-order and will read it and review it as soon as it comes in the mail.
In Florida. Thanks for the offers of help. I will take you up on them.
When I wrote Ken Bruen to thank him, he told me he held back! What a charmer!
I'll be happy to host you for a blog post, Patti! Any topic is fine. Best wishes with the launch and the readings!
Thanks, Bonnie. I will try and think of something to say.
