Excited about the book and impressed you can time travel back to 2005 to get it published back then.

Maggie, I have all your books and love them all. And My Thoughts Have Wings is a must for children of all ages--especially adults. I just wish I could have gotten new your book back in 2005! I think it would have spared me 20 years of heartache. But I am grateful I can get it soon.

Congratulations! If it's not yet on your list of craft books, I would highly recommend Steve Almond's Truth is the Arrow, Mercy is the Bow. That book, and your memoir, have been so instrumental in drafting this book I'm working on. And I know this one will be so useful as well. Huzzah!

I can't wait to devour this new book! Just tried to pre-order the US edition using the Bookshop.org link and it gave me a 404 error page. Will order from one of the other links but will try the link later to buy a few extra copies for gifts!

Hurray! Maggie, what wonderful news! I'm excited about your insights and guidance in the new book. Thank you for penning them for us. I loved many of the titles you mentioned and recently ordered "1,000 Words of Summer: A Writer's Guide to Staying Creative, Focused, and Productive All Year Round" which seems to be in the same family — it was sparked by Jami Attenburg's annual project of the same name, underway now. We writers really can't have too many encouraging words. Looking forward to yours!
