BHH Tour: Los Angeles
Great night, fun event: BJ Robbins, my agent was there, I got to be on stage with my good friend Tod Goldberg, and . . . and there was a student from my grad workshop back in Boulder there, even! (AWP started the next day). Here’s Tod and me: Great seeing Trish again, too. Last
BHH Tour: Missoula
Thanks to Lorin Elise for the video below, here. And? She was the audience star for the whole tour: interviewed me on stage at Tattered Cover (Denver), then was at the Strand and here as well. But, this is Chris LaTray and me in the video: https://bsky.app/profile/paperbackbish.bsky.social/post/3ll3efbtpxk2z Got to see Robert Hall and Lois Welch,

BHH Tour: Minneapolis
Hadn’t been to this city for a good while, and never when it wasn’t just frozen-cold. Only needed my light Carhartt this time, though, and my going-to-town boots worked just fine. Thank you, Birchbark Books: https://bsky.app/profile/jameknight.bsky.social/post/3lkxyqz3ay42p And . . . here’s how I spent the afternoon after:

BHH Tour: NYC
So cool, to wake up and have BHH splashed across the home page of Simon & Schuster: Then, before getting to The Strand, there was hanging at the Saga offices at Simon & Schuster over at Rockefeller Center, and BHH getting that cool display case in the lobby: And, signed some of those cool McSweeney’s
BHH Tour: DENVER
