Last stop on my book tour: Iowa City

The evening I arrived in Iowa City, Prairie Lights Books (the iconic Iowa City bookstore where I was to read the next evening), had received a threat about a book on abortion that was to be the subject of that evening’s “Live from Prairie Lights.” Consequently, the reading was cancelled and the store closed earlier. It’s disgraceful that the same people who claim to “protect” life keep threatening it. My own reading, however, went well. No one threatened anyone and the room was packed (we even had people standing in the back). The Q&A section was marked by several important questions both from the auidence and from Julie Englander, who hosted the event. The event was recorded and will air at 8 p.m. on Saturday, February 10th, and at 7 p.m on Sunday, February 11th, on WSUI-AM 910, WOI-AM 640 and KRNI-AM 1010. A program will also be broadcast at 5 p.m on Sunday on KSUI-FM 91.7.
Audience Highlights: Michele Morano, a friend and soon-to-be-published writer, who drove four hours from Chicago to see me and to meet with her publishers. Her book, Grammar Lessons, will be released in a couple of weeks and has already gotten a lot of attention from the media. For information about it, please go to http://www.michelemorano.com

My book tour began last week with a visit to Olsson’swedding bands Books and Records in Washington D.C. Though the audience was rather small (I blame the freezing weather for that), the reading went well. Thanks very much to Tony Ritchie and the staff at Olsson’s for their help. I hope they manage to sell all the copies I signed in advance. Hopefully the Washington Post review of Tales from the Town of Widows, which will run on the Sunday,magnetic bracelet February 4th edition, will give the book a boost.

The city that is best for you is pendant upon many factors. You need to work so the first thing you should check out is the job market. You will find it vastly different that California. I assume that if you want to start a family, you would also like to feed them and need to be gainfully employed. grin

Iowa is is still very “small town” even in its larger cities. I grew up across the river and a bit south of Dubuque. Dubuque is an old river town that is in the process of revitalizing. They have houses as old and as wonderfully built (think Painted Ladies)as Galena but have never drawn the attention of Chicagoans wanting a retreat within driving distance of the city. The property values are much more reasonable and Dubuque has made some great strides in the last few years at becoming more attractive to tourists and house hunters. They still have a long way to go.
