Flashes of War Goes to Portland

Please join me this morning at 11am Pacific Standard Time (1pm Eastern) on air with Jim Schumock for KBOO Community Radio. I’ll read 3 flashes, including 2 never before head on air or in public, and do a live interview. Click here and then click the LISTEN tab and you’ll be able to stream from anywhere! Pacific Northwest readers, this station extends from the Oregon coast inland to Hood River, so check your dial!

Later tonight I’ll be celebrating the West Coast launch of Flashes of War in Annie Bloom’s Books–the store I grew up in that is still going strong. I’m very excited to celebrate with my friends, family, and folks from all periods of my life at this event…if not also a bit nervous. Give me an audience of strangers any day, but an audience of people I know deeply and, well…

I know I’m supported by them, but my love for this city and the people here makes me want to read that much more powerfully tonight. If you’re in town, please come on out for the fun! If you’re reading this blog from afar, please send me good, calm, confident vibes. Also, keep your fingers crossed for this Saturday’s announcement of the Military Writers Society of America awards–because Flashes of war is nominated for Book of the Year.
