An Incredible Book Journey: Time Was Soft There

Over the next six weeks, I will have the joy of visiting independent bookstores in 23 cities. Follow the trip and meet the many wonderful friends, book people and random characters I encounter along the way.

BBC



My first major publicity gig for the British version of the book (yes, Books, Baguettes & Bedbugs) was an interview with Kate Mosse on the BBC. I was a tad dough-headed as it was far too early in the morning, but it was utterly brilliant as I was in the Chicago National Public Radio studios and I have a fetish for all things public radio. After the interview, Mary gave me a tour, showing me the studios, the rainbow-wired sound room, and the view of Chicago from their perch at the end of Navy Pier. She also gave me a really cool mug from Chicago Public Radio.
