I will once again be participating in the Southern Oregon Book and Author Fair, Saturday, November 15, 2008, selling and signing copies of The Mystery of Things. No doubt I will also be buying/trading books books from/with other authors as well—I am always impressed by the quality and variety of books being published by our regional writers here in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. 

Here are the event details:

What with the re-vamping of GodSpy, I will be putting up blogs there from time to time, and my son John more frequently still. My latest there is one of many on the subject of Pope Benedict XVI’s visit to the U.S. Mine is called, After the Pope: Time to Hit the Books?

I’m also thoroughly enjoying an ongoing discussion over on Crisis Magazine/InsideCatholic.com resulting from Todd Aglioloro’s blog, “Whatever Happened to Popular Catholic Fiction?”
