Bookworks

Our last stop on our Southwest Book Tour. Back home in Albuquerque! We were graciously hosted by Bookworks on Rio Grande.






















On the white board in the foyer. Love that "no angst allowed"!






The in-store display.


















Here we are doing our thing. What IS that green thing Sheila has? Google "Hoberman Sphere" or read our book!














There's Sheila leading the group in one of our "Cool Moves."
















Sheila reading. Note the table with our books behind her.
Here's Peg reading one of her "Doc in the Box" selections:















Here we are signing our books. We sold 22 books at the event itself! Thank you so much to Bookworks and to all our friends, old and new, who came to the event!

Arizona Trip Pics - Tucson


Antigone Books is a charming store on South 4th Avenue. Independently run, chock full of great titles, and very hospitable to us!


















We were excited to see our book in the window, along with a poster about our event. We shared the event with Ellen McMahon, a local author whose essay "Through The Looking Glass" appears in a collection of midlife transition stories titled The Oldest We've Ever Been.





Here's Sheila inside Antigone with yet another display of our book!




Two of Peg's professors from medical school days delighted us by coming! Larry Moher on the left, Ron Pust on the right. Thanks so much!





Sheila signing!





We went out for beer and tapas afterwards with some dear old friends of Peg's. From left: Fred Edson, Sheila, Elissa Fazio-Rhicard, Margie Puerta. Thanks for coming to cheer us on!






Maurice Grossman, an Arizona ceramics celebrity, graced us with his sparkling presence.





Elissa, Peg, and Eric Fazio-Rhicard. Love you guys!

Arizona Book Tour pics- Phoenix









Here we are, waiting patiently for our turn with Pat McMmahon at KAZT.



And there he is, the man himself! We had a lot of fun with this interview. He does a news and events show that lots of Phoenicians watch --thank you Pat!













This is Sheila outside Channel 3, where we went for our next TV interview.








Here we are being silly posers with the cardboard cutouts of station staff. The pink lady between us is our lovely host, Lisa, of the show Your Life From A to Z. She interviewed us in between the Quincinera fashion show and the Sushi chef!




And then it was on to our evening event, a "Meet the Authors" soiree at the Duck and Decanter. I was so busy schmoozing and signing that I didn't take pictures! Sheila, do you have any from the event itself?

The lovely and talented Karen Mettler, one of our hosts at "The Duck."

Radio Interview On Live The Day

Click here to listen to a radio interview of Sheila and Peg on Live the Day Radio!

Authors Interview with Pat McMahon

PAT'S LAST WORDS... Sadly (er, cheaply), when Peg and I ordered a copy of our appearance on the show, we opted for merely our "segment" -- as opposed to the whole show, or even the first half-hour. While this saved us all of ten bucks or something, it also, tragically, left off "the money quote" --- that is, what Mr. McMahon had to say when they got back from commercial. "Don't worry," he said. "The Loofah Lady is gone!" And indeed I was, along with my trustee sidekick and coauthor, Dr. Peg ---- off to tape another interview across town. (This was in Phoenix.) Let me see if we've got that one linked here -- it's called "Your Life: A to Z" ...
