November 3: Marketing is paying off! "Gringa in a Strange Land" chosen as the Book of the Month by In the Rooms, a great (big) online recovery site!


October 27 - Radio interview with NPR affiliate Interlachen on Mary Lou Williams and my bio, Morning Glory A refreshing slant to this interview is to address the potential young audience for jazz. And Mary Lou made that her mission as well later in life, so this should be a good one! I'll post the link to the podcast when I have it.


I'll be doing an interview about Gringa in a Strange Land, touching on my experiences living in the Yucatan for: www.book-club-queen.com. This will be made available January 2012.
