A Little More Book Talk:
My brother called me early this morning to let me know that Bookmark Now was featured (reg. rqd) on the back page of the LA Times Book Review. And they liked it. Really liked it.
“Huzzah, Kevin Smokler! You have articulated in your introduction to this illuminating essay collection what many of us have long suspected: that we are not a nation of slack-jawed TV fiends and joystick illiterates, nor are we in danger of becoming one anytime soon.
If you’re a writer, Bookmark is pure inspirational power juice. If you’re a reader (we know you’re out there), it provides lots of heartening evidence that literature isn’t dead, and that novelists can be just as entertaining as Dave Chappelle. “
Wow.

Hah! Have just this minute read today’s LA Times Book Review and the article on your book. Strange, given that your archives extend back to July 2001 that this is my first encounter with you or your writing. In any case, congratulations on a great review, and thanks for taking a stand that reading and writing are going strong.

Well!!! Just read in your other blog that you were at the SCWC in Palm Springs a couple of weeks ago and liked our motto. 🙂 So you know Wes and Michael Steven and Ray Strait and who all knows who else. Very cool. Hope you had a great time in spite of the fire, heart attack and earthquake! And to think I missed it all!

Onward and Upward, my friend! Just a note on the bookmarknow.net blog. Where are the date stamps? It gets confusing when you say you’re at such and such a place but I can’t see a date. Keep up the good work!!
