It was great fun to hear bestselling author Ellen Sussman read from her new book, The Paradise Guest House, and discuss terrorism, book covers, doing research, how Bali has changed, the Boston Marathon bombings, and the publishing industry, at Annie Bloom’s Bookstore in Portland last Wednesday night.
I’m excited to read Ellen’s book and was so grateful for the chance to chat with her thanks to our mutual friend, author Liz Prato.
You can listen to Leigh Anne Kranz’s wonderful interview with Ellen Sussman on KBOO’s Between the Covers program, and here are a few photos from the evening.

- Liz Prato is one of the most thoughtful people I know, and I’m so glad she’s part of my writing community.
