Fall Into a Good Book at the Fall Home & Garden Show

Yes, that's right, the Home & Garden Show in Portland, Ore. has a Book Booth. 

The NIWA exhibit features more than twenty NW indie authors and will be displaying 170+ titles.

The event runs Thursday, Friday and Saturday 11 a.m. - 8 p.m., and Sunday 11 a.m. - 6 p.m, October 6 - 9. 

Admission is $10 to the entire show (and $8 to park), BUT if you're coming on Thursday or Friday, print out the coupon at the bottom to get a discount on admission any day (AND parking is FREE after 4 p.m. on Thursday and Friday).

I'll NOT be participating after all this year go anyway and see the other writers (they need your encouragement, too). BTW: It's booth #843.

Working on the Night Shift at Harbor House

It's nearly 8:30 p.m. here in Aberdeen, Wash. I'm at Harbor House manning the helm and at my trusty laptop.

I'm halfway through the night shift.

It would be great to have a few other writers down here at work with me, but I work alone (so far) tonight. I did have a writer (by the name of Dwight Johnson) drop in during the morning shift requesting to read for the Salon (Oct.1). He turned me on to his YouTube channel and I got to listen to him read his work. It was quite good--both the poetry and the reading.

That's pretty much my life today, except for a few errands and coffee with my amazing man bun son between my split shift.

So, tomorrow I expect pretty much the same. Ho hum, right? The writer's life. LOL

And now for your listening pleasure...
