Third Day’s a Charm, Right?!

The Book in a Month Dare continues. Today Brigid and I went to a little place on the corner and wrote together for one of my 90-minute blocks. That’s always fun. In general, that’s how I work.

Baseball, Books, and Banter!

Well, this was fun! As baseball’s opening day draws near and, more importantly, as the official publication launch of Home Run Enchanted edges to right around the corner, Nicole Asselin had Brigid and me onto her very cool podcast Baseball, Book, and Banter.
