Technological glitch?

"Like a book written with the wisdom of a 'yankee' Flannery O'Connor, Batterman's stories are filled with satire, and laugh aloud humor; the profound insights she offers up in the quotable saltings of her work are new and stunning." —Deborah Riggs Previte, A Bookish Libraria 
Deborah Batterman fills the senses with her poignant, funny observations of family and modern life, drawing the reader in, revealing layers of existence with the nuanced phrase, the apt symbol — Cheryl Snell

The first novel I publish will not be the first novel I wrote. This is not the way I planned it but life, for all the stranger-than-fiction moments it encompasses, does not necessarily follow the narrative arc of a novel. There are things we don’t get to choose. . .…

Celine Keating said… Deborah,
How exciting! I live in NYC but was invited to do the reading by the Mount Pleasant Library. The event is listed now on my home page (I'm not yet up to speed on how to post things the right way) but the text is below, in case you can make it.
It's lovely to "meet" you this way - and I'm going to go and enjoy reading your blog right now.
