Hey, remember that really awesome blog I keep telling you about? I wrote a blog post for them! This time I write about truth versus non-truth, and the writing elements which come into play when balancing the two. Hope you take some time to check it out!
Hello friends! This week is a busier one for me. Tomorrow, October 13, I’m speaking on a panel about self-publishing along with my husband, Gary. The Lace Reader started off as a self-published book, plus we own an independent software publishing company. Looking forward to having our brains picked!
October 14 I’ll be in Andover at the Andover Bookstore. I’ll be speaking about The Map of True Places. You get more information about this event here.
And finally, on October 16, I’ll be in Boston for the Boston Book Festival, which is held on Copley Square. My event will be taking place at 4:30PM in Rabb Lecture Hall, which is in the Johnson Building of the Boston Public Library. I’ll be joining Joanna Smith Rakoff and Ann Hood to talk about the webs of relationships in our books. Henriette Lazaridis Power will host. The BBF is the largest literary festival in New England! If you can make it to the Boston area to join in on this event, you won’t regret it!
I’m doing a reading and signing tonight at Sarah’s Circle Book Club at the Park Avenue Congregational Church in Arlington, MA at 7PM. This is a free public event but any donation that you make goes to support the Boston Women’s Lunch Place. For more details, click <here>.

Dear friends,
Is it officially fall yet? The trees are beginning to turn colors in Salem. I love it here this time of season. I have a mighty busy weekend ahead of me which I’d like to share with you, since all of things are carrying fair amounts of fabulousness.
The Salem Literary Festival will be taking place this weekend, September 17-19, 2010 in Salem, MA. On Friday night (tonight) at 7pm I’ll be hosting the Opening Night Celebration with Lily King. I’ll announce the winner of the First Salem Literary Festival Writing Contest, which you don’t want to miss. On Sunday the 20th from 10am-6pm in Derby Square there will be Mockingbird Marathon, which I’ll be hosting. Grab a coffee at Jaho and come listen! Or participate! I have some friends of mine coming from Manhattan to join me. I’d love to have you there.
On Saturday, September 18th, the Boston Public Library will be doing an Author Talk and Movie: 50th Anniversary of To Kill a Mockingbird. Katherine Hall Page and I will be chatting about how the book impacted our lives (and writing lives). After we talk there will be a brief break and signing, and then the movie will be shown. The whole thing begins at 1pm and goes on until 4:30pm. Should be a blast!
Sincerely,
Brunonia
Some time ago I was interviewed by a fabulous woman named Therese Walsh. When Therese asked me to write a blog post for Writer Unboxed, I was so thrilled to be asked! Today, my first post for Writer UnBoxed went up.
If you haven’t heard of Writer UnBoxed, or if you haven’t already spent some time poking around that blog, you really should. It’s one of the good ones in my opinion — lots of interesting publishing people and writers with interesting things to say. I was flattered to be asked to join them. You can check out Writer Unboxed through the link here.
Have a wonderful weekend! I’m in Boston this morning — the weather is gorgeous!
