Authorpalooza at Jordan Landing

Thanks to the people at the Barnes and Nobles at Jordan Landing in the southwest part of the Salt Lake Valley for hosting our Authorpalooza last night for about 15 or so Utah authors. It was lots of fun and we all met some great people and sold some books, too. Here are some pictures. See if you recognize any of your favorite authors. To my right is Mette Ivie Harrison and to my left is Sydney Salter.

Authorpalooza, December 15, 2009

On December 15, 2009 from 5:00-7:00 p.m., several Utah authors, including me, will be at the Jordan Commons Barnes and Noble for a book signing party we're calling an Authorpalooza. Come and I'll sign your book and also meet many other Utah authors.

KUER Fall Fund Raiser

So, I spent Friday afternoon answering phone calls and taking pledges for my old university's public radio station, KUER at the University of Utah. I had fun and we raised about $2500 in two hours when no one was supposed to call. Not bad. Some of the other Utah authors and I took various shifts to help out. We're so civic minded.
