Goddesses,
fairytale queens, and legendary heroines: these are the stuff of fantasy.
Aren't they? But November Butterfly introduces them in the vivid colors of
now...Tania Pryputniewicz remolds these characters: they batter down your door,
rush into your living room and unapologetically take all the most comfortable
chairs. In return, they offer clear and often cold-eyed views of their worlds
dominated by the men and circumstances they are steered by...I read and re-read
sections, astonished by the fresh and dynamic beauty in the writing that opened
a door for these characters to step into our time: utterly captivating and
overwhelmingly relevant...--Excerpt
from first Amazon page review to go up for November
Butterfly, with gratitude for Sandra Hunter (LosingTouch)
As
a newbie author, I have to share the unexpected joy of walking into the
public library here in downtown Coronado to see November Butterfly in the local
author display. True, I had turned in the book to the librarian when the
call came out, but I had forgotten about it until I walked in last night with
my daughter. What a rush!
The
most recent poem in the collection to be featured online, Guinevere Braves High Noon in My
Backyard, can be read here, at The Mom Egg: Author Note: Tania Pryputniewicz on November Butterfly
(poem follows the Author Note).
I'll
be in Sonoma County next week--come out and play with me! I'd love it if you
pre-registered for the workshop so I know how many strings of paper dolls to
make for us--use my Contact page to email me regarding payment.
Certainly I will not turn anyone away at the door; feel free to just show up
for the reading portion if that's what's in the cards.

Sonoma
County Book Launch Event: "Writing Past Fear: Free Your Butterfly" Workshop and
Reading
Sonoma
County’s Coffee Catz holds a special place in my heart; not only did I
get to spend Friday mornings for a few hours writing when my children were
babies (Grandpa and Grandma took over every week so I could sneak away), but we
even hosted the baby shower for my firstborn in the back room behind the velvet
curtain. Owner Debbie chatted me sweetly all through my first pregnancy and the
next. I am so thrilled to return to use that back room to celebrate
November Butterfly’s release. Come out and write with me for an hour; we will
follow our writing workshop with a reading and book signing. No prior writing
or art experience needed.
Workshop
description: What
story have you kept in the cocoon? What would happen if you wrote it out,
just for you? In this dual focus workshop, we’ll consider our heroes, both
famous and family, who have inspired us. Using them as inspiration, we’ll write
our cocooned core stories. We’ll also explore the butterfly and hero metaphors
via colored pencils and paper cutouts. Art supplies provided.
