Thanks to all you wonderful dads out there!
For this month’s newsletter, I want to thank some folks for a few things and then tell you about a couple of upcoming events—one of which is this Sunday!
THANK YOUS
ARIA Writing Academy: So You Want to Write a Memoir?
Tuesday, May 7, 2024
Thanks to all who joined me for this 90-minute online class I taught about how to write a memoir. The participants were friendly and inquisitive and reported learning a lot about the genre and leaving the class with several potential memoir topics. A big shout out of thanks to Tabitha Lord and others from the Association of Rhode Island Authors who make these ARIA Writing Academy classes possible.
By the way, I will be teaching “So You Want to Write a Memoir?” again for ARIA at the Rogers Free Library in Bristol, RI, from 6 to 7:30 p.m. on Monday, July 15, 2024. Contact the library for registration by clicking HERE.

Scituate Rotary Farmers Market
Saturday, May 11, 2024
Thank you to all those who drove all the way up to Scituate to join me at the Scituate Rotary Farmers Market (46 Institute Lane, North Scituate, RI). The weather cooperated beautifully for the opening day of the season, and the tents were filled with vendors selling plants, soaps, delicious foods, and, of course, books. There was a steady stream of visitors all morning, including many families and lots of dogs. If you missed it, don’t worry. The market will be open every Saturday from 9 a.m. to noon through September.
Ed Evarts’s Book Launch for
THE BRAVERY TRICK
Tuesday, May 14, 2024
Chris and I had a wonderful time at the Boston book launch of The Bravery Trick, written by Leadership Coach, Business Strategist, and Podcaster Ed Evarts. I had the privilege of working with Ed as his coach and editor on this project—an important book about how necessary it is to be brave at work, complete with actionable bravery strategies. Thank you to Ed, his lovely family, and all the wonderful people at the book launch for making it a truly memorable evening.

NARRAGANSETT BREWERY: PINTS AND PAGES

Chris (and my ever-faithful friend, Jayna!) also joined me for a book-signing event at Providence’s Narragansett Brewery. We had great beer, great food, and great fun chatting with book lovers of all ages. Here’s a photo of me with Alfred Crudale, a fellow author and very nice guy.
