I read Eyes in the Fire while on the bike at the gym, and it could have kept me there for longer than 30 minutes, if I hadn't had to get back to work.
Loving it. LOVING it.
On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

I can't even.
like an interview for one of the papers about your checkered career.
She needs a good editor. "fascinating career", "compelling writer's journey" perhaps. Checkered? Nah. I sniff pejorative.
So, I gather they don't want to spring for your flight, from the "if you could get here"? Hmph. Can you get expenses for accommodation then crash with friends to compensate?
Woo and also Hoo on the possible EC trip, sounds great.

Hmm...checkered sounds like I didn't make up the Dom thing.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
I whispers quietly: Austin Austin Austin
Sounds like "Boston", okay? We have books here, too.
Also, got Barnes and Noble and Borders all over the place, too.
IJS...
San Antonio, Houston, and DFW all really easy to get to. A mini-Tx book tour...
I'll be quiet now...

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Oh, she knows it's checkered - she's fascinated by it. But there's no way I'm talking about rock and roll history with a newspaper or anyone else. Nuh-uh.
In re the flights? I can't blame them. Also, she didn't say she wasn't going to pay for it; I'd been very clear about my fear of flying especially in midwinter, and also about the multiple sclerosis being a bear. I suspect that may be what that "if you can make it here" may be about.
Tons of people to crash with, including my daughter. But I think my editor may drag me out to her place on Long Island if I do go; her daughter Nora is a world-class cook and Ruth's salivating already.

Ah, I see. Well, here's hoping it works out.

Excellent! Now, since Toronto is such a books hotbed, and NY and Boston are surely not enough stops on your tour de triomph ...

Liz, if I do a stop in Philly, I'll be visiting my big brother; they live up the mountain, in Paoli, I think it's called.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
The very thought of you on the east coast makes me happy-- I shall endeavor to close the distance to actual F2F if you are anywhere near!
