What a nice turn of events. Given your interest in genealogy and history, I’d bet that your contribution to the book is especially interesting — congratulations! I did smile at one omission in the publicity blurb about who appreciates cemeteries: there wasn’t a mention of the birders! I’ve heard so many of them say that in urban areas particularly, the cemeteries are one place where birds can be encountered, as well as miscellaneous free-floating spirits from other times, picnicking families, and en plein air artists!

Thanks. My humble contribution was about a small cemetery in East Texas where many of my mother’s family are buried. Others are about more famous cemeteries around the world. Victorians did treat cemeteries somewhat like parks and would gather there to socialize and picnic. I haven’t read anything specifically about birders appreciating them, but it makes sense. Good point! But I have read many pieces about cemeteries that point out flowers and even a few animals that are around, especially in older cemeteries. I think of the Rockport cemetery in spring. Thanks for visiting and checking out the blurb!
