The treats of the last two weeks: fangirl and hangout

Look who came to town recently! Ian Rankin and thanks to Alison Davis for driving in the rain

and the almond trees were blossoming

and Ethel Rohan debuted her Irish novel and asked me to interview her - recommend her book highly The Weight of Him

and Deborah Crombie with her new novel The Garden of Lamentations

and after Deborah Crombie's reading we went to cafe Claude for coffee and plotting because that's what one does

and met our blogmate Lisa Brackman at the Sacramento Authors Library dinner and Susan Spann who I sadly didn't get a photo with - next time Susan!

and Debs liked the ambiance of Cafe Claude's interior - a real 50's cafe imported from Paris
