Two events--save the date

Orange Co., CA, readers and writers, take note: literary events are gearing up!

First, on Sunday, Jan. 25, 3 p.m., my current students will be reading at Laguna Beach Books, 1200 South Coast Highway. Among them will be my cohost Marrie Stone and Phil Doran, who wrote The Reluctant Tuscan. Event is free of charge.

Then, on Tuesday evening, Feb. 10, 7 p.m. at UC-Irvine, 210 B Student Center, I'll be interviewing T. Jefferson Parker, author of the new book, Renegades. He'll also read and take questions, and the event will be recorded for a later broadcast on Writers on Writing. Event is free of charge.

Hope to see you!
