Margaret has been a fierce supporter of this novel since the beginning, and I'm so honored that she's running this cool contest…and by the way: Her gardening website is THE BEST. And I can't recommend her books strongly enôugh….she's the real deal!
Good luck!!!

I’M BLAMING LIZ GILBERT for my sudden craving for a massive writing project to hold me prisoner for years. That’s what I imagine it took her to write such a layered and wildly original tale as “The Signature of All Things,” her new novel. It’s the story of plant-passionate Alma Whittaker, born in 18…

A GORGEOUS SONG, inspired by "The Signature of All Things"…
Something really lovely here, you guys. My great friend Rayya Elias (rockstar author of the kickass memoir "Harley Loco", which I've talked about on this page a bunch of times) has written a song based on SOAT.
The whole time I was writing the novel, I was reading bits of it to Rayya as I went along, and she started working on this song about a year ago, after I read her a section of the novel that was set in Tahiti. It includes the line "She came striding out of the sea like she was born for it" — which some of you who have read the book already may remember. (It's my favorite of Alma's moments.) This is also the line that is currently flashing on the big screen in Times Square, so it seemed a good moment to release the song. Because: KISMET!

You can listen for free, or buy it for a dollar and enjoy again and again. I love this song! And I love my friend Rayya.
And I love it when one piece of inspiration inspires another. Let the inspiration roll!
