Meet the Author at Norwood Library

Norwood Library's Book Club has taken Bracan's Daughter for its October read! It's a good time of year for this story indeed!

I'll be meeting the club members to discuss the book on October 21st. This will be my second book club meeting. The first was great and I'm looking forward to this. I'm setting up other library book clubs around the Cincinnati, Ohio area.

It was a well-written book packed with the rich knowledge gained throughout a long and excellent career. Cunliffe begins with the land, its structures and qualities; the impact of its separation from Europe, and the ice age. It becomes his canvas as ...more

Michael Calabrese answered Helen Muriithi's question: If you were able to change three things about how you started out as an author or writer, what would they be and why would you change those three things? Interesting question. I think I've only got one thing I would have changed. I would have started writing fiction much earlier in life. The joy of creative writing makes up a large part of life and I would have had it sooner. I write for a living (bus See Full Answer
