I do understand that this gets tedious – this buy my book, come see me, stuff.  But KICKING IN THE WALL is now available – and I’m available, well just about everywhere. This weekend I’m talkiing to the Californa Writers Club in Woodland Hills, then on May 16 at Flintridge Books in La Canada at 7:30 , and a week later May 23 at Pages in Manhattan Beach at 7:00. The very cool thing about the bookstore appearances is that some of my students who have their five minute exercises in the book will also  be reading. And they are wonderful and funny and fascinating. You may be tired of me, but these people are fresh faces!

Another favor – Amazon reviews are actually read and help sell books. If you feel so inclined (or even if you don’t), please leave a review of KICKING IN THE WALL on Amazon, it’s easy and so important and will be so appreciated! (Thank you, Laura for writing the first one!)

Oh, yeah. And buy my books please. KICKING IN THE WALL is actually a companion book to A YEAR OF WRITING DANGEROUSLY. One or both would make a great graduation gift, or if you have parents who might want to write their family history, it could be a Mother’s Day or Father’s Day gift.
