Please join me and many friends, old and new, as I launch my book in my longtime home city of Brooklyn.  Thanks to the owners and staff at Bookcourt on Court Street for inviting me to read in their amazing store.  Bookcourt has stood at the heart of the Broooklyn Heights, Cobble Hill and Boerum Hill communities for many years (I remember wrangling my way through the door with babies) and helps make the big city feel more like a warm and friendly village.  See you there.

Please join me as I launch Major Pettigrew’s Last Stand in Washington, D.C. with a reading at Politics and Prose at 6pm on Saturday March 13.  I am delighted that Washington’s most renowned independent bookstore has made room on their busy calendar to invite me and I hope you’ll come by if you’re in the area.  Bring lots of questions – it’s awfully lonely up on a podium when no one has questions.
