THE BOOKED FOR MURDER READING 11/7/09- This event was a dramatic improvement over the Goodman Center fiasco. My confidence was bolstered by the fact that the majority of the audience was extended family (not that I couldn't do a great job in front of an audience of strangers). I sat at a table decorated with 8 or 9 copies of the book and read two excerpts totaling 12 pages- the Mendota'sestate scene and the brush with death in the Yahara river. Except for a few brief losses of composure due to the contagious snickering from a gentleman in the front row, my performance was almost flawless.
