What Happens When You’re Gone?
In July I finished up Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy. I dragged out reading The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest as long as I could while still allowing myself to enjoy it and remember the story. I wish there were more books coming but I don’t think there will be any. In Lasse Winkler’s interview… Continue reading What Happens When You’re Gone?

M.J. Rose on Promotion
Yesterday while driving to the farmer’s market to pick up my meat (I’ve belonged to a meat CSA since last fall) I was treated to a NPR interview with M.J. Rose on marketing and promotion.
