Tucson Festival of Books
Masha Hamilton, me and Jamie Ford with Darth Vader & pal at the first TFOB 2009.
This is a love story.
Arizona has given me so much. Now, on the eve of our return to the epic Tucson Festival of Books, I am thinking about this complex history. After all, my year of living on the edge in Tucson brought me my bride. Yup--Cinderella was a Tucson Citizen reporter.
