I love the Multnomah County library system
I’ve just posted the draft of Chapter 4 of The Transfigured Lady, for those of you reading along. The lovely thing that has happened this past week, while working on the novel, was that I got to make a trip to the North Portland Library and spend the day in the Black Resources Center perusing

Yesterday I went down to KBOO to talk to Marianne Barisonek her show “Between the Covers.” Marianne was a delightful host and had clearly done her reading before I came in.

Debut Author Lessons: Surviving on tour
Tour can really count as conventions or book tours. The thing is that as an author you will probably wind up traveling a lot. It can be exhausting, even when everything goes right. Back in the day, I spent five years touring for a living as a puppeteer. I found that the same tricks I
