upcoming book events.

west hollywood book fair

this sunday october 2nd, 2011, i’ll be speaking on a panel at the west hollywood book fair. the fair is going to be beyond awesome and you should definitely try to stop by and say hello if you’re in the area.

here’s some information about the panel i’m on:

WHO I AM: MEMORIES THAT BECOME MEMOIRS
(11:45am-12:45pm)
Dan Fante
Emma Forrest
Matt Logelin
Amy Ephron
Barbara DeMarco-Barrett (Mod.)
Signing Afterwards at the Mysterious Galaxy booth

(ed. note…dan fante is the son of one of my all-time favorite writers, john fante, and a pretty great writer himself. the rest of the authors on the panel are also amazing, so a “holy shit i can’t believe i’m on this panel” note is definitely appropriate here).

please come out and say hello.

admission and parking are free!

finally, here’s an awesome trailer for the event:

next thursday october 6th, 2011 at 7:00pm, i’ll be reading at third place books at 17171 bothell way north east, lake forest park, washington 98155

people tell me that’s near seattle, so if you’re in the area, come out and see me (just an fyi, i’ve been known to take people out for drinks afterwards so even if you didn’t like my book, you really should come if you like booze).

oh. i haven’t given anything away in awhile, so leave a comment, any comment, i’ll choose someone at random and send them a signed copy of my book, along with a couple of surprises.

thanks, as always, for your support.

i tried not to laugh, but…

in the car

on the way to

school today,

i heard a little

whine from the backseat…

“daddy! my finger hurts!”

we were at a

stoplight, so i turned

to her and asked,

“which one?”

“this one!” she

yelled back at me.

i started laughing immediately.

“don’t laugh, daddy!”

i tried to compose

myself as i reached

for my phone,

the whole time saying,

“which one? which one?”

hoping that she’d keep

it up long enough

for me to photograph.

she cooperated, and

i was lucky enough

to preserve this

special moment

for her future.

you’re welcome, madeline.

and of course,

as soon as

she got to school,

she had to show

all of her friends

her new band-aid.

the past few weekends…

a couple of weekends

ago maddy, brooke and i

headed north to visit

our friends

mark, jeffra and

mckenna in fresno.

frightened by the prospect

of our longest drive

yet with a

potty-trained child,

i took all of

the necessary precautions.
