Happy Friday

It's 93 degrees outside and my kids pick today to set up the lemonade stand. Got to hand it to them, they know when to pounce on an opportunity.

I have a post up at Mass Poetry based on my talk at the Peabody Library.

Tomorrow, I am headed out to Misery Islands with Dawn Paul! My second book, Misery Islands, is based on these mostly uninhabited islands off the coast of Beverly. It's a 3-4 mile kayak trip. There's a chance of thunderstorms in the morning, but with any luck we should get out there without incident, and spend a little time exploring the ruins and taking pictures for my book cover. I'm so excited! 

Dawn promises I won't drown or tip over at sea. Here's hoping our experience at Misery Islands is a pleasant one.
