A novel by Susanna J. Sturgis

Dear Readers

Books can't survive without readers, and The Mud of the Place wouldn't be alive today if not for the nearly three dozen people who read all or part of it in its various drafts. It's taken a village to raise a book, and now Mud is going on the road. Want to help it on its way?

Loan your copy to someone or buy one for a friend.
Tell us what you think of the book. Comments are invited for the "Praise" section of this website and if you're moved to say something on Amazon.com, please do.
Belong to a book club? Suggest The Mud of the Place as a possible title.
Put a Mudsticker on your car, bike, backpack, or little red wagon! They're about seven and a half inches long by three and a half inches high; see below for a picture. To get yours, send a self-addressed envelope with first-class U.S. postage or the equivalent in international reply coupons (IRCs) to Susanna J. Sturgis, P.O. Box 39, West Tisbury, MA 02575, USA.
Talk your local library or favorite organization into inviting Susanna to read or speak. (She's pretty interesting.)
Host a house reading! (Offer good only on Martha's Vineyard unless travel expenses are included.)
If you're a reviewer or know of a blog, publication, or other media outlet that might be interested in reviewing The Mud of the Place or doing a story about Susanna, let us know.
Come up with some fun promotional idea that we haven't thought of yet!
