As noted in a previous post, BookExpo America — the annual publishing/bookselling convention-marathon-extravaganza — is in NYC this week. I’m not there, but thanks to social networking (this blog, FB, Twitter), I have a pretty good idea what’s happening, and I’m not totally exhausted with sore feet and sensory overload. Armchair BEA was set up [...]

I am gorging on Florida strawberries, but I am studying okra and dreaming peaches. Let me explain. SIBA — Southeast Independent Booksellers Alliance – recently announced its dozen “Okra Picks: Good Southern Books Fresh off the Vine” for the spring season as selected by its indie members. The fiction and nonfiction look appealing, but, yum, three books [...]
Marsh mellow, mostly
Posted in Southern Books, Thoughts on Books, Uncategorized, tagged Caroline Cousins, Marsh Madness, the South on September 28, 2010 | 2 Comments »
I’m happy to report that none of the mishaps in Marsh Madness by Caroline Cousins happened at the weekend wedding celebration of my cousin Aly on Edisto Island.

Aly is the daughter of Gail, my one-and-half times first cousin (our mamas are sisters and our daddies first cousins), and along with her sister Meg and me, make up the mystery-writing team of Caroline Cousins. We have written three cozy mysteries set [...]
So long farewell to L&O

chung-CHUNG! We interrupt this books blog to pay tribute to the television show Law & Order, which ends its original 20-year-run tonight with an episode involving a troubled blogger. Yikes! “‘Ripped from the headlines,” no doubt. Seriously, I am a serious L&O fan and I think I have seen every episode at least once, and [...]
Closing the Book on Urban Think!
Posted in Thoughts on Books, Uncategorized, Writing and Reading, tagged bookstores, Caroline Cousins, Urban Think! on March 9, 2010 | 5 Comments »
Urban Think! Bookstore in downtown has an exclamation point after the “think” in its name. Otherwise, I wouldn’t be exclaiming in a headline over the closing of yet another independend bookstore. Yes, the nine-year-old indie in downtown Orlando — specifically, Thornton Park — will pack up shop the end of this month. I heard the news from [...]
