Join me
If you are in the Asheville area and not out on a hike in this gorgeous fall weather or at Tellabration listening to fabulous storytellers or sitting at home in your underwear solving Fermat’s last theorem, perhaps you will join me at Malaprop’s bookshop for a reading at 3pm today. I’ll be joined by the very talented Neela Rao; we are reading as part of the Great Smokies Writing Program, a wonderful program for writers in this area.
As I mentioned before, I think I’ll read in a British accent or a Scottish one or as a wacky New Zealander from Paper Road, just to amuse myself and keep myself from wondering if I’m popping my "p’s" on the microphone, if I have a poppy seed between my right front tooth and that canine one (Beth has agreed to do the poppy seed check for me, bless her heart), or if everyone in the audience is thinking to themselves either "I could write better than that" or "bread, orange juice, paper towels…what was that other thing?"
Come, listen, sit shoulder to shoulder with other people who still read. Say hi.
