Dear friends and potential readers, In celebration of the publication of my new book written about Jackie Kennedy and the ten years of our friendship, I am teaming up with my publisher, FSG for a series of sweepstakes. There will be limited editions of various and sundry articles of mine such as signed photos, albums, first copies of things and an occasional teddy bear from my childhood. The sharing of these prizes will happen every week until the book comes out. I hope you participate and have something you want to come your way. First up is a framed signed poster made from the Touched by the Sun book cover. I don’t know exactly what that means but I know it’s going to keep my publishers up late at night asking me to sign something large and poster sized.

Dotting the i’s on another project. A book about my relationship with a most extraordinary and fascinating beautiful woman who I am proud was my friend. Jackie Kennedy was special to me and while writing about our friendship I revisited our time together: those last ten years of her life when she so generously gave me some of her time and conversation. In some moments we were like two girls sharing our opinions of a new Dylan or Beatles album. We became the ‘girls’ we always had inside us. Jackie was so feminine but she was immensely gutsy and smart and I loved writing about her and remembering so many of our interactions. Some from my diary, others from letters and others just the feelings put into words of that connection we had. She was a wonderful friend, a great lady whose light was so bright as to light up the sky. I called the book Touched By The Sun for that very reason.

I have read the most beautiful, understanding reviews and comments about Jim Hart’s new memoir: “Lucky Jim.” From the first time I read any of Jim's prose or poetry, I’ve always known he was/is one of the most gifted writers around. His observations are difficult and magnificent and he always amazes me at his ability to use a word in a way that is new just as he takes a thought further than you ever thought it could be taken. I’m very proud of this book, his memoir, and the obvious respect and understanding he has for me, the wife that I was to him for many years. It is quite something to ‘land’ at a place in life after going through something uniquely difficult and find yourself loving with a more open heart than ever before. Carly Simon
