The Writing Itch | author’s note
It’s beginning again: the itch. I’ve started to play around with a tiny baby kernel of an idea for a book. “If there’s a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written […]
Prowling through the Stacks | author’s note
I have wonderful memories of my hometown public library. The library in Davis, California, where I grew up wasn’t especially big or showy. It’s not an especially big town, and while the University library is […]
