Yes, it’s true! Jane Hart’s new book is out! The Newer Normal features her, uhm, special world we all know from “Art By Hart” on this august website. The Newer Normal can be found online on Amazon and Barnes & Noble’s website . . . and as an e-book on Apple Books.
Autographs, she notes with an “LOL,” are free.
The book is dedicated “to a wonderful and generous artist and friend, Mariet Van der Heide, and to Steven D. Prince, literary smartass extraordinaire, caption-wizard, and the man I love with all my heart.” It contains 100 of the daily drawings that she’s been sending to friends since the publication of her earlier collection of drawings. That earlier book was titled Stop Screaming: How Some of Us Made It Through Covid 19.
“Now that the pandemic is in our rearview mirror,” she continues, “we are free to worry about other aspects of life — some serious, some not so serious.” She offers this new book both for fun and as a worry-guide of sorts, as well as a reminder that, even in this “newer normal,” anyone who can share a laugh is never alone.
