Book Fest Season Begins

This Saturday, the Book Festival Season kicks off with the 13th annual National Book Festival on the National Mall in DC. Library of Congress has brought in some big names this year, including Margaret Atwood, Don DeLillo, Thomas Keneally, Khaled Hosseini, Christopher Buckley, Terry McMillan, and Linda Ronstadt to name just a few.

And for people in Baltimore and vicinity, the following weekend is our literary new year! The Baltimore Book Festival takes place Friday, September 27 to Sunday September 29 around Baltimore’s Washington Monument in Mt. Vernon. On Sunday at 1:30, the CityLit Stage presents Lit & Art, featuring Jessica Anya Blau, Bathsheba Monk, Nitin Jagdish, Eric D. Goodman, Jacob Panic, Manzar, and host Aaron Henkin of WYPR’s The Signal.

Next Best Book Blog Showcases My Desk

Over the past couple months, I’ve been spending a lot of time in my writing studio, at my desk. The same simple pine desk has seen the writing of at least part of just about every bit of fiction I’ve written since I was 12 years old. I’ve been there recently to revise my latest novel-in-progress, Setting the Family Free.


The Next Best Book Blog recently featured my desk and writing studio in their Where Writers Write series.

Where Writers Write is a weekly series that features a different author every Wednesday as they showcase their writing spaces. It’s your chance to see where the authors roll up their sleeves and make the magic happen. Featured authors have included J.A. Tyler, Ben Tanzer, Greg Olear, Dinty W Moore, and even Margaret Atwood.

See the pictures and read about the place I write at the link below.
