Lulu and Fanny are generally unimpressed by my first novel in a decade. Take it or leave it sort of think. Thankfully, the critics are more generous. “Rose In A Storm” comes out Tuesday. Rose and I will be at Barnes & Noble in Saratoga Springs at 5 p.m. Tuesday for an unofficial signing. Then at Northshire Books in Manchester, Vt. for the official tour kickoff Friday at 7 p.m., then at the Saratoga Borders at 2 p.m.  Sunday. Then Washington, Ohio, Kentucky, Mass., and other places. Follow the four on the website and Facebook. See tour sked above for details on the website. Enjoying a quiet day with Maria, last for perhaps a bit.
