Recent Successes: Anne Markham Bailey and Katherine Queen Have New Books Out
We are always excited about good news, and we have some to share: Anne Markham Bailey and Katherine Queen, two members of the AWC, have new books out in the world. We are thrilled for both writers and are happy to share their recent successes:
Congratulations to Anne Markham Bailey on the publication of her latest book, The Practice of Being: The Power of Creative Awareness.
Here’s a summary: “In her new practice manual, teacher and writer Anne Markham Bailey offers a guide to Creative Awareness, the simple and accessible practice of moving away from the tyranny of the thinking mind and into the discovery of the power and freedom of being.”
Bio: I am a poet, podcaster, and educator based in Birmingham, Alabama. A graduate of Barnard College at Columbia University, I majored in East Asian Studies with a concentration in Chinese language and literature. I hold an M.F.A. in Book Arts, and an M.A. in English, Creative Writing. My dharma training includes Tibetan Vajrayana, somatic awareness, and shamanic healing practices. I am a meditation guide, body awareness and yoga teacher, and labyrinth practice facilitator. My call is to explore both ideas and form, to feel into the vast detail of being.
Congratulations to Katherine Queen on the publication of her book Genesis, Lilith’s Tale.
Here’s a summary: “What if all the stories ever told truly happened? The tales whispered to the authors by the ones who lived them. Multiple realities and worlds all right at our fingertips, thanks to someone willing to write it all down.Come along with me as I tell you our story; the one whispered to me. Hear the tale of Lilith, Queen of the demons, from her own lips. Listen to her struggles with this and other realities. Read of her loves lost and new ones found. Feel her pain, joy, and sorrow. Journey with her as she finds not only herself, but her other selves as well.All stories deserve to be told. This is hers.”
Bio: Raised in the woods, taken by the Fae as a child, and shown how to access my true self and listen for the voices of the others; I am an author of worlds whispered to me by the ones who wish their stories to be told. I've written countless books and never had the courage to just finish them and share them with the world, but that changed when I wrote Genesis. The tale of Lilith, of how she became Lilith, of what she was before and all that she will become, was a tale that simply needed to be heard. When I am not writing, I love to read the works of others, and spend as much time outdoors as possible.
Everyone's story is their own, but we're all connected in this glorious universe.
