I just read aloud the Constitution. There are a few hiccups, and I mention a few times where there are amendments, and also I left out the word "male" in one spot, but otherwise, this is me reading the Constitution of the United States of America.

Dawn Burns had a book release party at Everybody Reads in Lansing, Michigan, for her new creation from Cornerstone Press:

A Green Glow on the Horizon: Tales from the National Association of Tourist Attraction SurvivorsFor those of you could not attend, you can be a part of the joy by listening to this podcast! Scott Harris introduces Dawn!

Dawn's website is here: Dawn Burns – Writer. Connector. Creative Community Builder.

Now you can buy the book at your favorite independent bookstore and/or request you local library add the book to their collection. Below is some praise for the book from yours truly and others:

"A circus sideshow of small-town roadside attractions . . . tender, funny, and masterful narrative."

-Bonnie Jo Campbell, National Book Award Finalist

"With delicious humor and a masterful perception of the strangeness of the human condition, Dawn Burns writes characters you will never forget because they will haunt your dreams and follow you on road trips."

-Cait West, author of Rift

"These stories-testaments to joy and love, testimonies of insecurity and fear-ask you to bear witness to a great sewing together of threads into a perfectly unique, odd, unsettling-yet-comforting quilt of humanity."

-RS Deeren, author of Enough to Lose

"As daring as a high-wire act, and Dawn Burns walks that wire with no pauses and no missed steps. . . . wildly inventive, serenely wise, and delightfully zany.

-Valerie Sayers, author of The Age of Infidelity

"This book is a Matryoshka of Defamiliarized Detours. Turns out there is a there there, and you can get there from here."

-Michael Martone, author of Plain Air: Dispatches from Winesburg, Indiana

"No writer I know of captures the essential surrealism of childhood and adolescence better than Dawn Burns. . . . A Green Glow on the Horizon is a compelling concoction of reality and compassionate, shimmering imagination, breathed into life on the page by a master storyteller."

After a long struggle with a very cold snowy winter, Chris and I chat about chickens and eggs and more.
