I have your 2/28 event in Atlanta with Jessica Handler on my calendar. I love Jessica and I just finished your Story Studio class, so it seems like kismet.

As an academic fundraiser, I love your shoutout to fundraising. Thank you! LOL

Loved your Scott Simon interview on Weekend Edition when it came out last year.

Loved seeing you at the Texas Book Festival this year. And also, The recent Novelist's Toolkit class was just fantastic. I watched all of the sessions a second time and took copious notes. Thanks so much for your open heart and willingness to share so much. A+!

You're going to be in my hometown (Montclair) and I wish I could be there too.

I so enjoy how you talk about all the aspects of writing.

"If you’re in Ireland, Barcelona, or Madrid, I’ll be coming your way in March." Yeah, nice places, but don't you think you need to go France? I mean with a loyal fan who speaks fluent French and who'd happily pay his own way and you'd be the guest of honor at fabulous dinners at all of his cousins houses all over the south?

I'm thinking Le Festival d'Avignon, which the ancestral home of my unnamed friend, who has only your best interests at heart. The French are big readers! Muchos euros!

More on topic, it was a great pleasure meeting you at the USC book festival this summer, and you were quite gracious is letting me give you a copy of my book. And the panel was kind of delightful. (It introduced me to the other authors.)
