Just to update you, I am visiting Nebraska 7-27 June. I have two speaking engagements lined up so far. One is at Chadron State College's Wild Writing event at Fort Robinson (12th June. The other is at the Willa Cather Memorial in Red Cloud, June 25th. On Friday 24th I am due to do a live interview for NET Radio's arts show from downtown Lincoln. I am hoping to set up other events at Rapid City and Boulder, Colorado, but although I have been getting an enthusiastic response from them, nothing has been fixed. I am looking too at bookstores in Lincoln and Omaha, but have not get very far yet. Too busy here, writing the next book. You may have seen that I have published another book, about my bike ride across the state.

I'm going to see whether the Bean Broker will stock it. Meanwhile it can be seen on the amazon.com/books site.Alan Wilkinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05233113660219449640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35506142.post-59868714225782259122014-04-03T18:08:11.531+01:002014-04-03T18:08:11.531+01:00Excellent choices of places to speak!

When we can, we like to take long weekends and travel to towns in NE. Chadron, Valentine, and McCook to name a few. We 'discovered' the Bean Broker in Chadron and it was through one of their posts on Facebook that I heard about you and your stay in NE. It has been fun to follow your travels!Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06359057166553311695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35506142.post-72164999857956984102014-04-03T10:40:36.894+01:002014-04-03T10:40:36.894+01:00Thanks for that, Joan - whoever you are.

Also considering Gordon. As for the hard copy book, I am thinking I might include a free CD with the photos on it. Incorporating colour photos in a book makes it very hard to format, and more expensive to produce.

So, I am here to encourage you to do a speaking tour and to publish some hardbacks of "The Red House On The Niobrara" (I'm hoping the hardback would include pictures of your stay)<br />Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06359057166553311695noreply@blogger.com
