Tim Knox has interviewed many fascinating and talented publishing professionals. His podcasts are endlessly entertaining and a treasure trove of insight. I’ve enjoyed […]
I loved meeting readers and writers this weekend at Tribeca GalleryCafe & Books in Watertown, WI.

Three weeks from today I will be at my book launch. It’s happening at Boswell Books on May 8th at 7 p.m. and of course you’re invited. I admit to being awed that the book launch is my own. I’ve been to quite a few launches, being a member of the state’s writers’ association and […]
