Couple of links today. Writer Unboxed posted the first half of an interview we did a few weeks ago: A Writer Unboxed And Westword, a Denver newspaper posted a very fun map. Click on #47 And for those aspiring writers who are sure there are no new book contracts to be had, here’s a [...] I’ve reached the middle of the book. The muddy, muddled, mucking-about middle.

Nepalese?)—but it is, in any event, a collection of all things India, Nepal, Pakistan, Tibet.

I’m really thrilled, and will run a contest for this–the first five people to spot it at their Target store will receive a pair of autographed books (I’ll take requests, but [...] As I wandered around this morning looking at the blogs I like to read (I keep meaning to ask if I can link to some of them) I noticed a lot of cooking posts. Seriously, about five! I documented my cooking adventure Sunday (well, Christopher Robin documented a lot of it) and I’m embarrassed [...] Saturday, 30th, 7-8:30 pm, I’ll be signing books in the Sears Court at the Mall of America in Minneapolis. There will be a Q&A and several authors will be there, including the very smart and interesting Jennifer Crusie with writing partner Bob Mayer. Lovely email this morning from Laurie at AAR, letting me know that Lady Luck’s Map of Vegas has captured a Desert Island Keeper review, the tenth they’ve given my books (thank you.)
