Many thanks to Travis DiNicola for asking me to read at Indy Reads Books when they opened up a few years ago.

I met Travis when he interviewed me for WFYI’s radio show Art of the Matter.

In the audience are a bunch of my friends from the Midwest Writers Workshop, some Ball State colleagues, some folks from my hometown, and my husband’s friend from college.

Also Hope Baugh, known on Twitter as @IndyTheatre, who came to the reading on a lark and has since become my internet pal.
