Recently, my my Columbia thesis advisee picked me up from the dentist (where I had just finished the last stage of a root canal, fun!) to take me to Urth Cafe in Beverly Hills to celebrate my book with their “Rumi Latte.” He sweetly brought my Rumi book, The Gift of Rumi: Experiencing the Wisdom of the Sufi Master (St. Martin’s Press), with him for a photo op — which also came in handy when we passed by many “Rumi” storefronts for antiques, jewelry, and furniture.
I followed his advice and ordered a Rumi Latte which consists of organic turmeric, pistachio butter, pistachio milk, & ceylon cinnamon. In addition to being delicious, it’s also visually appealing, so we took a photo of it with the cover of my book.
I continue to be so impressed with the cover that St. Martin’s Press gave my book (isn’t it gorgeous!?!) and the lovely landing page they created too.
The Gift of Rumi is available for purchase at Macmillan, Amazon, Barnes & Noble, BAM, and other stores. The audio book is available on Spotify and at Barnes and Noble, Apple Books, Scribd, Chirp, Libro, and 40+ retail and library distribution partners.
From Beverly Hills to the beach and Bosphorus and beyond, I’m always whirling in ecstasy at this bewildering experience of being alive — and the miracle of experiencing love from all directions and with each breath!
