Izzy and I will be (along with my daughter Emma) participating at the First Empire State Book Festival in Albany this Saturday. It takes place in government plaze (at the Egg) which is about all I know.

On May 8, there will be a father-daughter reading at the Northshire Bookstore in Manchester, Vt. 7 p.m. Emma will be talking about her new book, “90 per cent of the game is half mental” and I will be reading from “Rose In A Storm,” my novel out in October.

Also, Bedlam Farm Spring Notecards are up on the Redux site for sale and viewing. Handbags, quilts, potholders up on Maria’s website. Mary Kellogg’s new book “Whistling Woman” up the Troy Bookmakers site.
