In other news, I'll be interviewed about my new books, Journal of the Plague Years, on the Boise State Public Radio show, "Idaho Matters," at noon (MST) tomorrow, Tuesday, January 13. Listen live or check out the podcast later.
For those of you in Idaho, I'm reading at the McCall Public Library on Tuesday, January 20, starting at 6:00 p.m. Books will be available for purchase and signing. And on Friday, January 23, I'll be back at The College of Idaho for a reading in the Langroise Recital Hall at 6:30 p.m. Jocele from Caldwell's wonderful new independent bookstore, Shared Stories, will be selling books.
If you're from further afield and can't come in person, here's the recording of my reading at Hailey Public Library last month.
Additional appearances are posted on the Events tab of my website. Julie will keep updating it as we add readings in Boise, Montana and elsewhere.
Happy New Year,
