Baking fun treats and practicing for my reading tomorrow. It’s going to be a dramatic reading, of course, because once an actor, ALWAYS an actor. ;-) (Also on the to-do list before the reading: swim lessons and ice skating. Because…
Reading/Signing in NY this week
Anyone in the Ithaca, NY, area this week should stop on by my reading/signing at the Trumansburg Library on Thursday, November 1, at 7 pm. I’ll do a short reading and then we can all talk books. Also? FREE cookies.…
