Da Book Broads


Enjoyed meeting with Da Book Broads here in New Orleans last week. Fun discussion, good food–a great book club.

Pat Conroy at Garden District Books

And speaking of the Garden District Book Shop, I had the pleasure of meeting Pat Conroy there a couple of nights ago. He gave a wonderfully entertaining talk to a big crowd to introduce his new book “My Reading Life” (which I’ve been reading and enjoying).

When I thanked him for blurbing my book, he explained that he was just a “blurb slut.” I said I would pretend I didn’t hear that . . .

Paperback Release

The first event for the paperback release of Letter to My Daughter will be a signing/discussion at Garden District Book Shop in New Orleans.

When: Saturday, February 5, 11:30-1:00

Here’s the link to the store (one of my favorite bookshops in N.O.). Hope to see you there. I’ll bring the donuts.
