Ron Marcus and Patti Ann Maloney were gracious enough to hold a reading salon for me in their lovely home in the Oakland Hills this weekend.  I read two excerpts from The Nexus and one short story entitled The Truck Driver Who Had a Secret from a work-in-progress.  On the latter, I received singing help from my partner with whom I am celebrating our 14th anniversary.  The response was wonderful, I sold quite a number of books and, best of all, I interacted with some of the most wonderful and creative folks in the Bay Area.  What a fabulous day!
