Blog Post by Kaya Oakes - May.16.2009 - 8:40 am
The semester is almost over, and I’ll have much more time, very soon, to read other blogs and post here. I have a ton of catching up to do in terms of book related work — with publication just weeks away, we are in the “final push” (that’s what we called it in the indie magazine biz) of publicity, marketing, and so on. In the meantime, I wanted to share the cake we had at the final faculty meeting of the semester, courtesy of Sweet Adeline Bakeshop (my neighborhood bakery/cafe, where I wrote much of the book), and courtesy of Dr. Jane Stanley, who herself has a book forthcoming this fall. It’s a carrot cake!
