As I sat crawling along I-84 in a Saturday afternoon traffic jam that mimicked Friday afternoon at rush hour, I wondered whether I would arrive fashionably late or appallingly overdue to a reading/author conversation in North Portland yesterday. The parking was challenging when I did get there and rain threatened. I briefly contemplated giving up and going home, but two blocks from the main drag, there was ample parking. The effort turned out to be well worth any inconvenience. I not only attended an author event in a lovely venue (Another Read Through,3932 N Mississippi Ave., Portland, OR 97227) but chatting with the owner, Elisa, I was asked about "Indelible." Did I have any books I would like to leave on consignment. Of course...it always pays to have "trunk stock." I walked back to my car and brought in 3 books, one of which was bought right off the counter by one of the other authors, Christine Finlayson, a fellow Sisters-in-Crime member.
