When I did my book tour for BITTERSWEET, my father and brother had recently passed away from COVID, and I didn’t want to do in-person events. Instead, I agreed to be a guest on approximately a gazillion podcasts (“gazillion” = at least 130, probably more). It was an exciting though exhausting experience, and most of it I remember in a blur.

But one thing I do recall clearly is the feeling I got from being a guest on Eric Zimmer’s critically acclaimed podcast, The One You Feed. Eric has an extremely singular and wonderful quality: he’s intense, caring, and very insightful, and you can feel these things the minute you start talking to him. You’ll see what I mean, when you meet him. The image that’s coming to my mind, as I type these words, is of a beautifully polished stone you pick up at the water’s edge, one that sits warm and smooth in your palm. You know that the stone got that way from having been tossed around the ocean waves for years (as has Eric - he’ll share his difficult life story) and that makes it all the lovelier.

Anyway, that’s why I’m so happy to announce that Eric will be our guest for this Sunday’s Candlelight Chat (1 pm ET, on Zoom). (We’ll send out log-in info to all subscribers, in advance.)

I look forward to seeing you there!
