I loved the latest book I reviewed for the New York Times Book Review so much that I wanted to plug it here. It's called "Because a Fire Was in My Head," by Lynn Stegner. This is the best piece of fiction I've read in a long time - a head-strong female protagonist, poetic writing, heartache - what's not to love? I can't believe big publisher hasn't swooped in to pick up Stegner and pay her lots of moola.

Here's my review.

I'll be at Book Group Expo in San Jose on Sunday, June 10, as part of a memoir panel. I'd love to meet any local readers at the event, perhaps share a cup of coffee.
