San Francisco
Checking in from San Francisco… I’ll be at Booksmith tonight with Kathi Kamen Goldmark, Sam Barry and Pedal Steel player David Phillips who will perform “Carmelita” and “Don’t Let Us Get Sick” before I go on. It should be fun. Then, Kathi will tell a Rock Bottom Remainders story or two before she introduces me. Hopefully, I’ll be less nervous than I was in L.A. That was more about a sea of familiar faces, I think. I don’t know so many people here.
Here’s the new news… I just sent my agent a proposal for a new book. She liked it and Dan Halpern at Ecco Press has already responded favorably to the idea… As for what it’s about, I’m going to wait to see what happens before I reveal that info except to say that it would be a book in a similar style to “Sleep”.
Other news is that I’ve been invited to present at the Miami Book Fair in November. The Rock Bottom Remainders will be there, too, so it should be a lot of fun. I’ll keep you posted as things take shape.
Almost time for Mitch Albom to call in for his radio show, so I’ll sign off for now….
