The Big Read...and the big researchEarlier this fall, I had a chance to participate
in the Big Read festival.
The Big Read is a
national organization, with chapters located
througout the country. The St. Louis chapter
held its festivities on the grounds of Clayton
High School. It was a beautiful, sunny
Saturday morning...but
extremely chilly.
Greg Mortenson, Nobel Peace Prize nominee
and bestselling author of Three Cups
of Tea,
was the keynote speaker.
At the podium, reading from Ms. Taken Identity.
Signing books after my reading.
I'm also at work on my next novel, untitled
at
this point. Opera plays a role, and I had
the great pleasure of sitting down with local
opera aficionado Alif Williams. We talked
a lot about arias and drank our fair share
of wine. Thanks so much, Alif!
Alif shares his wisdom--and his wine.
