A few recent reviews

Posted by & filed under Reviews.

I’ve meant to post them earlier, but all of my e-mails lately begin, “Oh my Lord I am so sorry.”  Let’s face it: that’s how most of my e-mails begin.  I am always behind.  But here they are.  They’re nice, and I’m grateful.

Some upcoming readings!

I’m truly terrible at updating anything. I’m on Twitter so often I think it gives me a false sense of being current.

So!  This week I will be in California.

I’m reading at UC Davis on Thursday, May 15th, at 7:30.

Then, on Friday, May 16, I’ll be at Copperfield’s in Petaluma.

Next week, I’ll be home in New England!

I’m very excited to be at River Run Bookstore in Portsmouth, NH, on Tuesday, May 20th.

And at the delightful Porter Square Books On Wednesday, May 21st, in conversation with my old pal Paul Harding.

& finally at Newtonville Books, in my old home town, with Patry Francis, on Thursday, May 22nd.

Coming soon: readings in Nashville at Parnassus Books and in Iowa City at Prairie Lights.

Some early reviews

Posted by & filed under Reviews.

I am feeling clumsier than usual, here in prepublication land.  The last time I published a book was six years ago; the last time I published a book of fiction was–good grief!–thirteen years ago.  I am rusty at all this, is what I’m saying, and also things have changed.

Nevertheless, here are two nice reviews, both starred:

I’ll be going to a handful of bookstores in a handful of cities, & I’m pretty sure they’ll include Boston, San Francisco, & Iowa City.
