News of Current Events...

Just a brief update today on some current events:

First, for those who prefer to buy their books in bookstores and not online, a new independently owned bookstore has opened in Westfield, Massachusetts, in the heart of the historic district right on the town's beautiful common.  It's called Blue Umbrella Books, and they now carry all my books.  In fact, I'll be doing an author signing with them in December -- more on that later. 

So for those of you in western Massachusetts and northern Connecticut -- or any of you folks across the country who'll be up in New England this month doing your leaf peeping (what we call being on fall foliage tours or driving out to look at the leaves) -- stop in to Blue Umbrella Books and say hi.  (Westfield has some mighty nice other stores too.)

Next week, I'll be participating in the Classic Film Bloggers Association annual fall blogathon -- this year the subject is "Hollywood on Hollywood."  My post will be up next Thursday the 20, and I'll be covering how some classic cartoon caricatured the Hollywood stars. Have a look here at the CMBA website for a roster and links of terrific blogs and their topics for this blogathon.

See you next week.
