Another day, another crisis.
Announcement! This feature will go on hiatus for a week as I will be on a work trip.
If you are in Oakland! I will be at Clio’s Books on Monday, April 28, at 7pm with the one and only Gil Duran.
Then, on Saturday, May 3, I will be at the Annapolis Book Festival!
Hope to see you at either (or, improbably, both?)!
