First blurb!

Jen Michalski, author of The Tide King said this of Black Krim:

"Heirloom tomatoes lack the hardiness of grocery store hybrid varieties. They are grown in an archaic, inbred fashion; and yet, for all their isolation, they surprise one with their dramatic shapes, colors, and intense flavors––kind of like the characters in Kate Wyer’s novel Black Krim. As the roots of their stubborn, closed systems slowly entangle, their surprising desires and tenderness bloom fiercely from these small, hard seeds."

Black Krim is available for preorder with a discount and free shipping

Here is the final cover! Katie Feild designed it. She also designed the inside, which has illustrations. I couldn't be happier with it. The central image is the drawing of a Black Krim tomato flower. Behind that is a manipulated photo I took of my own tomatoes. The bottom, textured white band, is snow with footprints.

Right now if you preorder, you get a five dollar discount and free shipping. This book's release date is still on schedule to be December 21st. My book release party will be sometime the week of December 15th though, to avoid the last minute holiday rush.

Please visit Cobalt Review's website and take a look around! The website got a complete overhaul several months ago and is really beautifully designed. The navigation is also improved.

Brian Kubarycz asked me some very thoughtful questions. I had to take my time and really reengage with my story in order to answer them. I enjoyed this very much and his questions ended up giving me insight into my own process and how I can be perceived.
