If you happen to be in Chennai (Madras), India, this Saturday, drop by the American Library at the U.S. Consulate, 10:00 a.m. I’ll be reading and talking about various things.

Session on Reading, Writing, and Publish by George Bishop, Jr.
A few weeks ago I posted about how the European Space Agency’s “Rosetta” aircraft has intercepted Comet Churyumov-Gerasimenko after chasing it for ten years through the planets.
The latest news, for all you space geeks, is that the touchdown site on the comet has been identified, and on November 11 a probe will leave Rosetta and land on the comet.

There’s a Goodreads promo on for THE NIGHT OF THE COMET that somehow slipped my notice until now. Enter before Aug. 25 to win one of 15 free copies of the book.

I enjoyed meeting with members of the Southern Louisiana Romance Writers of America chapter here in New Orleans last weekend. Thanks especially to Chris Smith, super librarian, for arranging the space and etc.
I was surprised to learn that not all the writers there were romance writers; there were also writers of thrillers, horrors, paranormals, detective stories, and young adult fiction.
Here’s a view of them at work:
And here’s me talking about something:
And signing a book for author Pamela Kopfler:
If you tune in to WRBH 88.3 FM in New Orleans this week, you can hear THE NIGHT OF THE COMET read aloud daily at 11:30 a.m. and 10:00 p.m. You can also listen live online.
WRBH was set up in 1982 as New Orleans Radio for the Blind. It’s the only full-time reading service on FM radio in the US.
I’m looking forward to my visit with the Southern Louisiana Chapter of the Romance Writers of America this Saturday at the Jefferson Parish Library. I’ll be talking about “Building Believable Characters.” I expect it to be very romantic.
