The October Country
First, an apology to those who might have been expecting to see me on Sept. 22 at the Ideas Festival Emory. I contracted a nasty case of conjunctivitis, which required a doctor's visit and an antibiotic cream that blurred my vision. I hated to miss the festival and hope I can return next year or at a future event. For October, I have a couple of Wonder & Wreckage readings you might be interested in: Oct. 2, 7 p.m. Word of Mouth at The Globe , Athens, GA Oct. 5, 2:45 p.m.: Decatur Book Festival , Decatur Library Oct. 10, 7 p.m.: The Book Bird , Avondale Estates, GA Word of Mouth is one of my favorite reading series/open mics because The Globe has a great vibe. My appearance at the Decatur Book Festival will be the first in five years and I'm thrilled to be sharing the stage with Karen Head, Erin Hoover, and Willie Kinnard, III. Planning is also underway for the 20th-anniversary Voices Carry reading on Nov. 14 at the Decatur Library. More details on that soon. I&
