I hope you enjoyed Annie Shea’s adventures in A Theory of Expanded Love. I really enjoyed writing it and am thrilled to share my work with readers like you.
I was also born into a very large Catholic family, and I wrote the book to answer a question for myself. I won’t tell you the question I sought the answer to, but I invite you to try to figure it out.
While a playwright and performer, my audiences gave me so much with their energy that the work was lifted to another level altogether. One of the best things about feedback from an audience is the surprise of finding things in my work that I hadn’t understood were there. I loved how the collective experience of the work gave some people validation and power to deal with their own issues. The whole process is ongoing, unexpected, and alive; as a writer I just begin the discussion.
Having said that, may I ask you a favor? I’d love to hear from you. Please write me directly and tell me what you liked, what you loved, what didn’t appeal to you, and why. And keeping in mind that you, the reader, have so much power to make or break a book, I’d really appreciate it if you could put your review on Goodreads, Amazon, or your favorite online bookseller so others can share your thoughts.
Thank you so much for reading A Theory of Expanded Love and for spending time with me––and Annie Shea.
Blessings,
Caitlin Hicks
