--DON’T LOSE MY NUMBER.  OKAY?

…Yay.  That’s my new/fourth book out now from Ravenna Press.  At $12.95, it’s a pretty good deal, don’t you think?  If you buy one, or two, or eight, I will be endlessly grateful.  You can get it on Amazon at the link below:

…AWP, the huge writer’s conference that travels from city to city each year, begins in exactly two weeks from today.  This year it’s in Portland, one of America’s great Indie scenes, so I’m certain it will be a mind-blowing experience.
I have a reading Thursday night while I’m there, and a book signing Saturday, 2pm at The Ace Hotel.  I’m pretty excited.

..."The Thing About The F Word” went up yesterday at GHOST PARACHUTE:

…Here are some things to ponder midweek:

-"I think everybody longs to be loved and to know that they are loveable.”  -Fred Rogers

-“Look closely at the present you are constructing.  It should look like the future you are dreaming.”  -Alice Walker

-“We are all mortal until the first kiss and the second glass of wine."- Eduardo Galiano

-“There’s nothing more dangerous than a writer whose feeling have been hurt.”
-“A writer has to write.  A writer has to be read.”
-“A writer writes because if he doesn’t his soul will starve.”
--The Wife

-"Always laugh when you can. It is cheap medicine."- Lord Byron

-"I am convinced that the world is not a mere bog in which men and women trample themselves and die. Something magnificent is taking place here amidst the cruelties and tragedies, and the supreme challenge to intelligence is that of making the noblest and best in our curious heritage prevail."- Charles A. Beard

-"Blessed are those who can give without remembering and take without forgetting."- Elizabeth Asquith Bibesco

-"People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can't find them, make them."- George Bernard Shaw

-"Nurture your mind with great thoughts; to believe in the heroic makes heroes."- Benjamin Disraeli 

-"You, enlightened, self-sufficient, self-governed, endowed with gifts above your fellows, the world expects you to produce as well as to consume, to add to and not to subtract from its store of good, to build up and not to tear down, to ennoble and not degrade. The time is short, the opportunity is great; therefore, crowd the hours with the best that is in you."- John Hibben
