They’ll love it – the person who lives the words, showing the life it is, has, will ever have … you’ll love it.

Cheers Cage. I hope so. It’s a while since I read in public in earnewst. I’ve arranged 2 sessions of about 45 minutes each. I want to find my voice again before the first book (of quite a few) that I have planned comes out later in the year. Re-bookifying a memoir.

🙂 glad to be of assistance there. We published the collection a decade ago, but I want to re-do it in Print on Demand technology and e-book and so on.

Read what has meaning to you, Frank. You must have a fan club. If I didn’t live so far away, I would come along. Regards. Tracy.

Cheers Tracy. No fan club locally. This actually feels like I’m ‘coming out’ here in town.
It’s important for me to do this now, to start establishing a profile around here. Hopefully the years after I quit work will be dedicated to the writing and books and the like.
We shall see!

I guess it’s the right place to start, no matter what the initial audience size is. You have a fantastic collection of works to choose from, and perhaps the librarian is generating a little publicity?

It will be a hoot, Steve. I actually love reading to audience. Just get nervous about it before hand and never feel quite well enough prepared. Huge adrenaline rush.

Cheers Ellen. I have an idea that I might be able to record the sessions. If so, I’ll try to make them available.
