@Lmoknows Laura, remember my friend Deb in NYC? Dr Ruth lived in her building. I met her on the elevator some years ago. She was as friendly and joyful as-filled as I imagined.
@MsTerryMcMillan Lucky you. Got one royalty check for Laughing In the Dark and then got a letter saying they made a mistake and some books had been returned. Didnโt have to give back the $ but I became an indentured servant๐. It had to be warned back from future sales. Oh the tales of publishing
@MsTerryMcMillan I am remembering that years ago I took a photo of me and you to be developed at Walmart and the guy asked, "Is that your daughter?" I figured it was the hair. I was gray. But I believe (and hope) people see gray hair differently now.
@TonyPerkinsFMTV@DonnieSimpson@MajicDC Once profiled Donnie for the Washington Post. Must have been 30 years ago. Or more. Donnie has been around. Thankful to have listened for decades. Best wishes to the brother. And to you.
I am going to be interviewed tomorrow at 10 a.m. on Washingtonโs #Jazz and #Justice station @WPFWDC to talk about my 40-year literary career and what it has meant to keep writing this long. I will be in discussion with my good friends @PatriceGaines and Wil Haygood.
