If you come to my house, you will find that I have piles and piles of books. I’ve tried giving some away, but I can’t bear to part with them. To me, books are a window on our world. It’s how you learn. It’s how you meet people you couldn’t otherwise. It’s how you stay in touch with the world that is and was.

That’s why I am especially excited to be participating this weekend in an event that is all about promoting books – the Boston Book Festival to be held in Copley Square area. I will be at the Merrimack Media Booth from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. with my book, The Myth of the Yellow Kitchen. The festival is an opportunity to meet authors, find out about new books and to even learn more about writing one.

It’s a great chance to connect with others who value the experience of reading. Make sure to stop by and say hello.
