I am officially back. Some were suprised to see me at the Tim Cahill event last week at Easy Going, but that’s because it was stealth. I hadn’t told people I was back yet, for sanity’s sake. I crashed hard around week 6.5-7 of the tour and except for at the events was quite the [read more]

The event at Charis Books Wednesday night was a great way to end the tour! Most of the women’s events I’ve been to have been rather small, so I wasn’t expecting much. To my surprise, Charis is in a league of their own. They are celebrating their 29th birthday Nov 1 and don’t seem to [read more]
