Well, I guess I’m an author now! The giant poster awkward poster confirms it! I had a great time at Ronning Library in Sioux Falls sharing my book “Essays Out of Left Field“. It was a raucous crowd! They laughed at my dumb jokes, asked thoughtful questions, and didn’t fall asleep (as far as I could tell.)
I spoke about how my award-eligible book came into existence and read an excerpt/chapter from the book. I chose to share the essay “A Joyful Noise”, which recounts the harrowing tale of how I survived my daughter’s 5th-grade band concert.
Thank you to the Siouxland Libraries for hosting me! I am so grateful for your lack of standards for allowing someone like me to speak to your customers!
