I’m delighted to report the enthusiastic Tazia and Gemma book launch & reading, Q & A, and signing event on June 3 at Bookbound Bookstore, 1729 Plymouth Road, Ann Arbor. I read narrative passages from the first Tazia section and my daughter Rebecca joined me to read the mother-daughter interview from the first Gemma section. Thanks to Bookbound owners Megan and Peter, and to all who attended the Tazia and Gemma event. I urge Ann Arbor residents and visitors to check out this friendly independent bookstore with a large selection of children’s books and wide-ranging adult literature. For a complete list of my publication events see NEWS; to read more about my books see NOVELS.
