More on WRNI

Taped last week, radio reporter, columnist and former Providence Journal writer Scott MacKay's interview of me, about the Pell bio and writing in general, ran this morning on the NPR station.

WPRO Morning News

Did a segment this morning on Rhode Island's WPRO AM-630 Morning News Show, hosted by Andrew Gobeil and Tara Granahan. They were most gracious. Talked mostly about the book, but they were kind enough to mention my continuing Providence Journal series on veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifWRNI
Today's appearance followed a report broadcast Monday by reporter Flo Jonic on WRNI FM 102.7, Rhode Island NPR.

200 at launch party! Reviews coming in!

Some 200 people came out on a beautiful fall afternoon Oct. 16 for the launch party at Salve Regina University's Pell Center. I signed 100 books -- after that, the publisher ran out. Sens. Jack Reed and Sheldon Whitehouse spoke, along with Congressman David Cicilline; all were greatly influenced by Pell. Also speaking were grandsons Nick and Clay Pell, and Salve president Sister Gerety and Chancellor Sister Antone. I did a reading. The wine flowed and the food, including cucumber sandwiches, was scrumptious.

Meanwhile, reviews are starting to come in, including from Publisher's Weekly. They're good. Links to them can be found at the official book site's reviews page.

Upcoming events include a reading at signing at Newport's Redwood Library, Nov. 17, and a presentation at the Nov. 30 Pecha Kucha in Providence. Details soon.
