If you find yourself on the banks of Gitchi gami this weekend, stop in for some great books and conversation. I'll be in Duluth, Bayfield and Madeline Island talking about our native authors program's newly published anthology, Our Stories: Past. Present. Future. Details in first comment.

It was 49 degrees and raining. But we still enjoyed our whiskey outside. Springtime in the West Village…

Another chance to hear me read from my work in progress next week at Makwa Coffee in Roseville. Stop on by, if you're in or near the Twin Cities. Should be fun. At least there'll be coffee...

My writing buddy, Ginger, likes to snuggle inside my flannel shirt as I hack away at my work in progress. She’s such a help…
