I love meeting authors. They always seem so happy to chat and so genuinely pleased when someone praises their work. I remember attending a reading by Patricia Highsmith. It was a very small room --like a living room with sofas and coffee and she was such an amazing woman. It broke my heart to hear she's died just a short while after that evening.

Great post! I'm going to check out the Sue Silverman book later today for a project I just started. Thanks for taking time to review them. I almost never read book reviews on blogs, but I've found other books through you too. I think it's the way you review that make me slow down to see what you have to say which always proves to be a good thing for me.

Additionally, I haven't written about this on my blog yet, but I spent a semester in a writing class taught by Coleman Barks when I was at the University of Georgia. What a character as compared to my other instructors...I loved him!

Hey! Remember I told you I had been to that NC workshop for several years in a row -- Ron Rash teaches there and his readings have always been amazing. And isn't he a lovely man? And I'm reading Sue's book, too. Recognize any of the exercises/examples she used last year?
