>Book Tour: Portsmouth

>What a great town Portsmouth is! I wish I could have spent more time — there are hundreds of cool looking bars and restaurants there. But the point of the visit was to read at RiverRun Bookstore, which I did last night with Tara Masih. A Friday night is tough anywhere, and our crowd was small, but it was fun anyway. It was great to hear Tara read and I chose to read from a story I don’t normally do.

Thanks to Michelle at RiverRun for organizing the event!  On to Keene, NH on Saturday (Toadstool Books at 2pm)

  1. >It was wonderful to meet you, Cliff, and we enjoyed your reading as well. My husband was so disappointed you didn't finish the story, and can't wait to read it now! Best of luck with the rest of the tour, and see you at AWP. –Tara
