Amy Tan spoke and Louis B. Jones taught at Squaw Valley. John Irving lectured at the Las Vegas Book Festival. Russo will read in Houston in February. I visited the Michener home-now museum/library in Bucks Co. McManus and Michener talked on BookTV. The Incline Village Library has the complete set of PBS tapes of Bill Moyers interviewing Joseph Campbell.
Nice job Sam! good to see you book is coming along. keep writing.
