The sweetness of the awkward, the gift of a good writing retreat, the baffling beauty of cherry blossoms, the magnificence of small presses and indie bookstores, how I construct a poetry manuscript, and a lot more—I really enjoyed this conversation with Mandy Jackson-Beverly for The Bookshop Podcast!

Hi! 👋 I have some new friends here on IG, so I wanted to introduce myself. I would also love to learn more about you.

🏝 I’m Ali Wenzke and I ❤️ summer. It’s my favorite season. You’ll be seeing many Lake Michigan shots these next couple months.

🏝 I grew up in Miami, FL, but settled down in the Chicago suburbs with my family. I’m still coming to terms with the fact that we have 3 teenage kids. It’s strange how kids grow up so fast and yet parents don’t age, right? Right? 😂

🏝 Dan & I moved 10 times in 11 years, criss-crossing the country, which is why I wrote the book, THE ART OF HAPPY MOVING, and started the blog by the same name.

🏝 My happy places are: anywhere by the water, the Chicago Botanic Gardens, the library, a bookstore, a comedy club, a theater (especially if it’s playing a musical), home, & friends’ homes.

🏝 Activities that make me happy: reading, playing guitar, doing Sudoku, hanging out with my family & friends, eating chocolate chip cookies, watching stand-up comedy, and being outside.

🏝 I am a real estate agent because I love helping people and I believe in happy moving.

🏝 I like trying new activities because I never know what I’m going to enjoy. Zip lining? Not really my thing because I’m scared of heights, but it was still an exciting afternoon. Taking guitar lessons, on the other hand, was a great choice. Although I’ve been slacking on guitar this year, it’s an activity that brings me so much joy.

That’s a little about me. How about you? Where are you from and what are your happy places/activities?

Did you catch Joe R. Lansdale on The Bookshop Podcast?
.
In Edgar Award winner Joe R. Lansdale’s newest Hap and Leonard story collection, the boys are back, with more righteous ass-kickings, highly improbable adventures, and disastrous fishing trips. These never before collected tales showcase the dynamic duo as a little bit older, but not a whole lot wiser.

Happy Indie Bookstore Day!

If you’ve been to Bart’s, you know how cool the bookstore is for locals and tourists.

If you haven’t, “the world’s largest outdoor bookstore” is an iconic and essential Ojai attraction at 302 West Matilija Street.

www.bartsbooksojai.com

In fact, popular podcast host Mandy Jackson Beverly calls it a “local gem of a bookshop.”

To find out about the history and some interesting collections housed there, please listen to Mandy Jackson Beverly’s first full episode of “The Bookshop Podcast” (from 10/30/20) where she interviews manager Matt Henriksen.

Bart’s has been in business for over 50 years, and it’s a dream come true to see my debut book on the shelf!

Look for “Despite the Buzz” in the new release section. Bart’s is open 7 days a week from 10-6.

I’m happy to say the store is now included within a list of purchase options and retailers on the book tab of despitethebuzz.com (link in bio).

Shout out to @timbrebooks, @skylightbooks, @booksoup, @vromansbookstore, @horizonbooks, and Tecolote, too.

Thanks for making this possible, IndieBound, @ingramsparkbooks, @bookshop_org, and @blue_jay_ink.

If you live in or near Ojai, please join me for a book talk at the NHS library at 6:30 on Tuesday, 5/10. The event is open to the community. It serves as the third installment of a local author series.

Speaking of local authors, I’m currently reading “Together We Jump” by Ken McAlpine, and it’s excellent!
