this friday evening (the 19th) i’ll be visiting my old neighborhood and signing books (with the ever-so-stylish kayte terry) at treehouse. come by and say ‘hi’! you know siri knows how to throw a party, so there’s bound to be yummy snacks and drinks, along with all kinds of handmade loveliness. we’ll be signing from 7:30 to 9:30, and you can buy a book from me or bring in your own copy. i’ll be coming on the bus so i can’t carry a ton, so if you know you want to buy one (they’ll be $20) let me know in advance and i’ll reserve one for you.
