Join me

Books2If 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.

  • Let me get this straight…you just got home from a conference in Banff…you’re trying to match ATC bloggers with essays to create art for your book by, um, TOMORROW…and you thought you’d squeeze in a little reading TODAY? You slay me. I hope rest has been penciled in that planner somewhere… ;) Have a good time today.

  • I’d join you if I were there. I would love to go to such an event. Maybe sometime I’d even read myself.

  • ok. i don’t live in your parts, BUT i did listen to your parts’ music today: christine kane–that you had mentioned on your blog…and wow! amazing guiter playing, lyrics and humor. what a wonderful musician. thanks!

  • I hope the reading went well and there was nothing stuck in your teeth. :)
