About 30 people had signed up in advance to be at the Ashlawn Farm Coffee http://farmcoffee.com book launch for Wide and Deep. Others came in during my talk and stood in the back. I always bring a guitar to these events, and at this one, I performed three songs that had to do with the content of the new book. At the end of my 30-minute talk, I opened the floor for questions. This lasted for another half hour. The oldest person in the room was around 84. The youngest was 7. Both of them, and many of the other attendees asked good, engaging questions of the sort that you tend to ponder later.
My heartfelt thanks to the entire Ashlawn Farm Coffee crew who put so much care into this event. Please look in on their website as there are always interesting events going on at Ashlawn.
Back in Bangor, ME, on April 23rd, I’ll be on 92.9 “The Ticket” at 4:45 pm with Rich Kimball and Bruce Pratt, talking about Wide and Deep. The show is broadcast live from from Seasons Grille and Sports Lounge, 427 Main Street, Bangor.
On May 5th, I’ll be talking with students at Fort Kent Valley Middle School, Fort Kent Community High School, and University of Maine at Fort Kent at the Third Annual Fort Kent, Maine Author’s Conference.
I hope to see you somewhere along the way!
