I’ve Always Wanted to go to Phoenix!
As the very happy result of an essay of mine that recently ran on Salon.com, I now have a new stop on the book tour for The CHICKtionary: Phoenix! I’m excited to say that I will be appearing on the television program “Fox 10 Arizona Morning” on Wednesday, November 30…and I’ll also be at Barnes & Noble Desert Ridge the following evening (Thursday, December 1) at 7:00 pm for a reading and book signing. (Please see the events and appearances page for details.)
Thanks so much to my lovely new friend in Phoenix whose generosity put this leg of the journey in motion. Even at this early stage of things, I’m already finding the most magical part of the experience to be the people I am meeting along the way.
