Notes From The Episode:
The conversation with Evita talks about her amazing new book that is out in the world today. She talks about the process of writing the book and some topics that she felt were necessary to write about. She also gives us an update on her current life, the possibility of a second book, and mentions some books/works you should probably be reading.
Books mentioned in this episode:
A Polyamory Devotional: 365 Daily Reflections for the Consensually Nonmonogamous - Evita Lavitaloca Sawyers
Foreword by Chaneé Jackson-Kendall & Illustations by Tikva WolfAsk Me About Polyamory: The Best of Kimchi Cuddles - Tikva Wolf
Foreword by Sophie LabelleDeSTIgmatize STIs: Sexual Health, Knowledge & Liberation - Dr. Evalene Molina Dacker
Evita stated that she feels like her content is divinely inspired and so she creates content more via "lightning strike" - letting the ideas just come to her/inspire her and then writes about it
Evita still has some Polyamory Reminders that are not included in the book! Book 2? Maybe if she can come up with 365 distinct new ones
Evita has thought about writing another book! Her next book would be something about Polyamory for the Anxiously Attached.
Jealousy and Compersion were one of the topics that she felt she HAD to write about in the book
No current book tour scheduled BUT when it happens I will definitely be there
Thornapple Press has ordered a second printing of Evita's book AND her book got featured in a book trade publication!
One thing she wants people to take away from the book: "I don't want you to find ME in these pages, I want you to find YOU in these pages...I wanted the reader to find their own genuine self in these pages."
Get your copy of A Polyamory Devotional wherever books are sold.
