I know, I know, I know…. You guys are telling me — with increasing (but loving) impatience — that you’re ready for another book. And I am so sorry that I’ve been sidelined more than once in the past year. I could say something precious and lofty like, “It’s all part of the artistic process,”  […]

Happy New Year! A year ago today, I set out a list of 36 books to read in 2014. Of those titles, I managed to read just over a third with these thirteen: 179 Ways to Save a Novel: Matters of Vital Concern to Fiction Writers by Peter Selgin Someone Else’s Love Story by Joshilyn  […]
