Friends and a Book

 
The day started at Cindy's.



But I had to leave early to get to the book sales event on time. I had the table next to my good author buddy, Don Levin. Some of us chose to do a book reading, so here's Don reading from his newest book, Cold Dark Lies. (Psst... buy it, it's great!)



Now I'm at Ester's. We are in a tent because she's had a fire episode at her house, and although the structure is fine, she'll be camping (by choice) until the interior is rebuilt. Will be pretty glam as she gets things set up. For now, it's dry and workable. We are always able to have a good time.



And the book... well, that's what I sold today, one book. Sigh.

Gotta sign off. I'm on battery power.

A Day with Cindy

 
I haven't been to Ypsilanti to see my friend Cindy for about ten years. Not good.

Today we mostly chilled and visited, but we did manage a visit to the renowned peony garden at the Nichols Arboretum in Ann Arbor. It's just past prime, but still gorgeous.



I took quite a few closeups, but it was too hard to match them to the cultivars. There were signs posted, but not near the plants, and there wasn't time to figure out the grids and then compare to the name charts. (There might have been if it wasn't darn near IMPOSSIBLE to park in Ann Arbor.) But we had a great time, even if it was short.



You'll see some of the really pretty ones in the next few days.

This evening, I had an author event at the Grey Wolfe Scriptorium Bookstore in Clawson, Michigan.
