On Wednesday, August 25th, I’ll be doing a 6:00 pm reading at the Ketchum Community library in Ketchum Idaho, AKA Sun Valley. I am beside myself because not only is this a town and community that are very close to my heart, the library is renowned for its selection of speakers and its faith in the written word. I first visited Sun Valley when I was at the nascent I-think-I-might-like-you stage of relationship with my late husband, Tiger Warren. Three hours after touching down at the Haley airport I was embroiled in a love affair that even the most wrenching kind of mileage can never dampen. And not only with Tiger. Suffice it to say, when I come to Sun Valley I am someone else, and I never ever want to leave.

I’m in a Hemingway state of mind….
