Lynn’s Book Launch

Volume 3 is out now, and that means we want to celebrate!

It seems appropriate to launch the latest “Notes From The Valley” book at the Valley Hive. This is where Mark learned to keep bees and where we have hosted some of our Fish & Bear events.

You can get the book in your preferred format, including audiobook, here. We will have a limited number of books for signing, but if you’ve already got one, then bring it with you, and Lynn will be happy to scrawl something in it.

Here is a blurb about the book, because let’s face it, we suck at telling people about it.

Your Sunday morning ritual just got better.

Welcome to the third volume of Lynn Ferguson’s beloved newsletter-turned-book series, where the everyday magic of Los Angeles living meets razor-sharp wit and profound humanity. Part love letter to LA, part meditation on what it means to be human, these essays illuminate the beautiful absurdity of life with warmth, wisdom, and unmistakable Scottish charm.

Ferguson has a rare gift: she can transform a small domestic detail into a life lesson, find comedy in the cosmic, and remind us that our shared flaws and quirks are what make us gloriously human. Whether she’s observing the peculiarities of Valley life, reflecting on the dreams that brought us to California, or celebrating the connections that sustain us, her voice feels like a wise, funny friend sharing secrets over coffee.

In this collection, you’ll discover:

• Heartwarming stories that celebrate the vagabond dreamers who call LA home
• Observations that swing from hilarious to deeply moving, often in the same breath
• A compassionate eye that finds value in every human connection
• Writing that reaffirms empathy as our way forward through this beautiful, silly mess

Perfect for fans of personal essays, Los Angeles literature, and anyone who believes that paying attention to life’s small moments reveals everything that matters.

Praise for Lynn Ferguson’s Notes From The Valley:
