Sometimes I wish I hadn’t foretold the future quite so clearly….

Thinking of all the fallen this Memorial Day weekend. Glad to have met so many vets who made it home.

Getting ready for my event at the Kress Pavilion in Egg Harbor, Door County, WI on Friday. Hope to see you there! Deets in this great profile in Peninsula Pulse

I really loved this short, funny, and inspirational talk by Swedish writer Fredrik Backman - every writer and reader should check this out. 'Being a writer is the best way I know how to get paid for being insane.' And many other gems.

Had a fine time at the The Greater Pittsburgh Festival of Books with 2 fine writers, Joseph Reid and Annette Dashofy with added bunny ears and industry intel from Eleanor Roth Imbody

Listening to the excellent Jim Higgins read from his new book, SWEET, WILD, AND VICIOUS, a deep dive into Lou Reed and the Velvet Underground. Good stuff at Boswell Book Company !

Heading out to The Greater Pittsburgh Festival of Books tomorrow! Free to all on the campus of the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary, with many great authors in attendance, which is very cool. Also several cocktail-related opportunities! See ya there!

Congrats to my sweet patootie on her retirement from the university, where she worked for 16 years. She won’t exactly be relaxing, however - count on Hurricane Margret to make her next act even more exciting and challenging!

Looking forward to heading to Pittsburgh on Friday for The Greater Pittsburgh Festival of Books! Hope to see some of you there!

Had a fine time in Des Moines at the Des Moines Public Library with my friend and co-conspirator Gregg Hurwitz with a special nod to Kaye Publicity. Great venue, great audience, great conversation. Also totally sold on Des Moines.

Many thanks to Valley Bookseller for a fine time in beautiful Stillwater, MN. Next stop, Des Moines and the Des Moines Public Library for a conversation with Gregg Hurwitz - 7pm tonight!

Coming up this weekend! Join me with Carol Dunbar in charming downtown Viroqua on Saturday!
