The movie, not the blog. Well, okay, its not a movie. It’s a presentation. At the library. Tonight. And the life in question is … mine.
I’ll be speaking at the GALE FREE LIBRARY in Holden, Massachusetts tonight at 6:30pm. The presentation is for adults and I’ve been asked to talk about my path to publication. Which I will do by discussing the books that have shaped that path.
I’ll start at the beginning, of course, with BUS ROUTE TO BOSTON, by MaryAnn Cocca-Leffler, stop breifly in my elementary years (BLUBBER, by Judy Blume), my late adolesence (THE OUTSIDERS, by S.E. Hinton) and my young adulthood (THE PANDA’s THUMB, by Stephen Jay Gould) before moving to the good stuff: the writing years.
It should be fun. Come on by if you can.
