“The stories, poems, and memoirs in the new anthology SISTERS call forth sweetness and light, fury and a fierce devotion.” — The Boston Globe
“Publishing is not dead, it’s merely getting more fabulous. At least that’s how things look now that we’ve discovered Paris Press ... [It] became known to us because of their new book, Sisters. A collection of marvelous authors writing on our favorite topic, this is the single book that all of us must read.” — The Sister Project
“Writers including Margaret Atwood and Alice Walker explore sisterhood in this intelligent collection.... The book makes clear that sisters don’t outgrow their bond… Once a sister, always one.”

Happy Hearts!
In celebration of Valentine’s Day, I wanted to suggest that you think about celebrating your sisters or friends who have sisters, daughters, granddaughters, your aunts, nieces, sisters-in-law. SISTERS: AN ANTHOLOGY is a perfect gift for everyone between the ages of 13 and 103. And a signed and numbered print of the original cover art by Jane Lund is a truly luscious expression of love.
Jane Lund’s print (unlike the cover of SISTERS) is a giclee print of the collage, with the original pink background. It is 25 1/2” X 20” — and $200 of the $250 gift to Paris Press is tax deductible.
There are only 100 prints being made by Oak Tree Press, and several have already found new homes, so please let me know if you would like one or more for someone special (including yourself!).
To order SISTERS: AN ANTHOLOGY ($20.95) directly from Paris Press, please visit our website or phone 413.628.0051. Or purchase the anthology from your local bookseller or online bookstore (Amazon, etc.). For a signed and numbered print, call me or order through the Paris Press website.
Wishing you an early happy Valentine’s Day. May it be filled with love love love.
Heartily yours,
Jan
