Blessings Happy New Year All,

I hope you can join me for my next book reading on Saturday, January 12 @ 1:15pm-2:15pm at Flow Yoga Center, 1450 P Street, NW, Washington, DC. I will read excerpts from my debut novel Love's Troubadours - Karma: Book One (iUniverse - August 2007, available on Amazon.com for $20.95), sign books, and share how my 2005-2006 Flow Yoga Center teacher training experience and home yoga practice helped me surrender to the process of writing, self-publishing, and marketing my novel. This is event is free and will be held in Flow Yoga Center's second floor lounge.


About Novel:

Love's Troubadours - Karma: Book One by Ananda Kiamsha Madelyn Leeke tells the story of Karma Francois, a thirtysomething yogini with Louisiana roots and urban debutante flair. The novel begins with Karma?s life in an uproar. The ups and downs that she experiences as a result of career loss and poor life choices make her feel like she is living her own version of Adho Mukha Svanasana (downward facing dog). While rebuilding her life in Washington, DC, Karma relies on her yoga and meditation practice, family, friends, and therapist to help her confront the effects of her poor life choices and embrace a spiritual journey of healing and love. The novel features many businesses, organizations, and landmarks in the U Street, Shaw, Adams Morgan, and Dupont Circle neighborhoods. Love's Troubadours is available for sale on Amazon.com for $20.95. For more information, visit www.myspace.com/lovestroubadours.
