So today I was interviewed by the very cool Margot Adler for NPR. I went down to the local NPR station in downtown Chicago at Navy Pier (she’s in NY, so I was just connected via the studio). It was very cool and somewhat daunting to be talking to someone you’ve heard on the radio. Be...

So, just like last year, I’m offering up free signed bookplates for the holidays. ...

So, this is where I do most of my writing, in my office. If you click on the pic, it’ll show you a blown up version (if you are so inclined). One side is three bookshelves (full o’ books) and the other side is a desk with bookshelves on top. Th...

Ok! I’ve had a few interesting questions posted on the Q&A page lately. Sometimes I just answer them there, but other times I’ll answer them here in the blog (and all Q&A stuff gets categorized as Q&A too, so you can get to it easy). So...

Just in case you were interested I got the copy edited version of the book yesterday and I’m doing a final proof of it this weekend. Monday it will go back to the publisher for the typesetting. ...
