Show Me Good Land is a quiet book. It was intended to be. A quiet book for smart readers.
The drawback to this strategy is that quiet books do not generate frenzy. They just don't, and that's okay. It has been a year since the book's release, and to mark that anniversary as part of the Maine Women Write effort, I will appear on the MBPN radio show "Maine Calling" with Keith Shortall this week. Thursday, March 29 at 12:15, live. Here is a link to the show. Public radio listeners are my demographic. They tend to get the concept of the book more than many other groups, and I am grateful to be part of their programming. When Marjorie Standish bills these as perfect blueberry muffins, she's not using hyperbole. This recipe yields a consistent, tasty blueberry muffin each time I bake them. Marjorie makes the recipe complicated, when really, I just mix the ingredients all together in a single bowl. The trick, I think, is the lemon juice. Again, just dump it all into a bowl. And then into a muffin pan. 425 degree oven for 20 minutes or so. And yum. Yum, yum. Challenge: What is one element of your life that is consistently satisfying?
