Video Sunday: *knock knock* Land shark
Good morning, my fine and frisky young denizens of this sphere upon which we make our homes.

As you may recall, this past Saturday, January 9th I hosted my first Literary Salon here in Evanston.

It wasn’t too long ago that I was running the Children’s Literary Salon, a monthly gathering of topics presented to children’s literature enthusiasts, in the hallowed halls of NYPL.
