I am going to do one last book signing this year at the main branch of the New York Public Library on Tuesday, December 15th. My friend Helene helps manage the bookshop, and told me that if she sells 300 HONY Stories books by Christmas, she is going to reward herself with a vacation to India. I told her that I’d do a signing if she overcame her fear of photography and posed for the announcement post, to which she replied: ‘Oh God.’ I also told her that she was required to wear a Christmas sweater at the event, to which she replied: ‘I’m Jewish.’ So if you’d like to meet Helene, who will be wearing a sweater vaguely suggestive of the holiday season, come to the main library between 3 pm and 7pm on December 15th. I will also be there signing books. All proceeds go directly to benefit the library.
