Well, not really.
But I did spend today on the road—roads in Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York and Pennsylvania, to be precise—and Richard Peck did help make the driving bearable. Alas, I was travelling with the stories-on-tape, not the man. I listened to both THE RIVER BETWEEN US and ON THE WINGS OF HEROES and arrived at my destination completely in awe of this man who brings people to life so easily. His characters, Delphine and Noah and all the rest, are so real and rounded and warty and lovely. And funny. (I appreciated that humor while driving through SNOW in the Pocono Mountains!)
And so here I am in Pennsylvania, researching a new book and contemplating storytelling … and how to do it better.
I’ll be busy through the holiday, so will close with Happy Thanksgiving wishes to all. Safe travels and happy visiting!
