What was good: Jodi's reading of an excerpt of her book was dramatic and entertaining. It was definitely a performance worth hearing. Being able … Continue reading Jodi Picoult at the Music Hall

Public speaking

It's been a busy week! I was at Will's Copy Center yesterday, ordering some bookmarks (Maine Author!!) and flyers and such, when I ran into my friend, Denise.
