Detroit Historical Museum

Julie and I drove over to Ann Arbor on Saturday, December 2, hung out there and felt politically correct, wandered in real bookstores, and ate good. Then on Sunday we headed over to The Detroit Historical Museum for a book signing. After signing a book, we went out to eat with Sarah and Mollica from the Wayne Press, their friend Brooke and former student David Soubly. That was a great time as we celebrated Sarah's birthday even though it wasn't her birthday. It was a delight to see David and learn about his survival at Ford, his continuing to write--he's working to finish his second novel--and his family.

Look for David's first novel titled SANTA, CEO.  You can check out the novel at www.santaceo.com or obtain copies at www.booklocker.com.  And while mentioning former students, I recently learned that Jill Thiel who went to Hope College in the 70s was at the reading that Sally Smits and I got to give at IUSB.

What a joy to hear from good good her!  Here's wishing one and all the very best of these holiday times.
