Scattered showers. Calm winds. Full moon.
Recently we received word that I've been invited to the Savannah Book Festival, February 14-17, 2013.  Among the other invitees are best-selling authors David Baldacci and James Patterson, as well as good friend T.C. Boyle and Greg Allman.  T.C. and I hope to be given the opportunity to rock out with Greg in Telfair Square.  (Oh, hell we can dream can't we?)  Please check out the SBF web site (http://www.savannahbookfestival.org) for more on this extraordinary event.

Last week we launched "Islands Under Fire" at the Grays Reef Ocean Film Festival.  Thanks to all who showed up for the signing. Wonderful turnout. It was an honor signing books for author Rosemary Daniell and Jean-Michel Cousteau.  We were also treated to a fine brunch with Jean-Michel  - complements of the indefatigable and exceedingly generous Kathy Levitt.  

Clear skies. Light airs. Quarter moon. The moment is nigh.  Islands Under Fire is officially published Sept 21, 2012.   First off, thanks to all of you who helped with the book cover art, the title choice and most of all the editing.  Your input and encouragement has been appreciated beyond measure.   The book launch and signing will be at the Gutstein Gallery, 201 E. Broughton St. in Savannah  on Friday September 21 - between 4 and 6:30 PM.  For those of you in town - please come to the signing!
