In November 2009, I received a Ragdale Artist Residency and just spent a spectacular three weeks there, working on my short fiction collection in Lake Forest, Illinois, writing, thinking, dreaming. Some pics are attached, and here’s a Literago post I wrote on my time there.
A few hours ago, I had fun appearing on Chicago Tonight (as Literago.org co-founder) to chat about books to give/read during the holidays. My fellow roundtablers Professor Al Gini and author Brigid Pasulka had impressive lists to share and now I have WAY too many books on my “to read” list. The video is here, and all of our lists of recommended books are archived here.
During last week’s Printers Ball, I spoke on camera with Amy Guth of ChicagoNow’s Chicago Subtext about the Ball, Chicago publishing and books, and Literago.

This week, I spent a fun 10 minutes talking to Mike Stephen with WLUW’s Outside the Loop radio show for their literary-themed edition (to correspond with the Printers Ball). Some info is here, and the direct link to the streaming audio is here.
I co-founded and edit this literary website. My posts can be found here.
BadatSports sat down and interviewed Genie Williamson and I about why we started Literago.org and what we hope to accomplish. Such great fun talking to these ladies!
