So here they are, in alphabetical order: my personal favorites that always inspire me to pick up the pen (the laptop) and get cracking again. It’s a subjective list, yes, so don’t be shy. Add your own picks to the comments, or just throw in your two cents on why this list is so complete and [...]

Radio Interview, Facebook, Twitter
I did an interview for Atlanta’s AM 1690 (The Voice of the Arts) the day before my February 1oth reading. You can hear a streaming mp3 of the interview here.

I did my first readings for futureproof’s Harper Perennial release on subsequent Tuesdays, February 10 and 17. The first reading was in Atlanta at the Highland Inn Ballroom.
