Come on out tonight to Kirkland’s Parkplace Books to see me read with Deborah Woodard (and Lana Ayers, host extrodinaire!) 7 PM. Be there or be some kind of trapezoid.
Also, see Mary Biddinger’s first book interview with Kate Greenstreet here. She’s witty and self-deprecating – I especially liked the part about opening the first box of books with a jeweled dagger.
PS Did I tell you the story about finding my new local library (we now live in a small-townish, more rural area called Bothell)? I walked in the doors, and the first thing I saw was my book on the “Librarians’s Picks” display rack, with a little sticker on it that said “new and interesting.” The book looked like it had actually been read, maybe dropped in a puddle or two, and chewed on. I took this as proof that someone outside of my friends and family had read it. Cheers to Bothell librarians!
