I read Ragtime the year it came out (I was much older than 2) and loved it. I have the little teeny tiny red pocket book edition in my bookshelf. Now is probably a good time to reread it, though probably on kindle, since the pocket book edition will probably fall apart!

Your pictures -- and your story of editing on vacation -- are fabulous! Can't wait to read the book!

Sorry I missed your talk in Bellingham last night but thanks for giving us a flavor of your audience questions and some inspiring art from your recent travels. You've me helped me rally this morning as I sit butt in chair laboring over final edits to a new submission that has been years in the making. I love Enormous Wings and look forward to your next wild idea! Please consider coming to Griffin Bay books in Friday Harbor, WA. I will rally a crowd for you.

I’ve been meaning to read Ragtime for a while! Also love your Turkiye travel tidbits.

And go experience Ragtime on Broadway! Superb! Even more relevant today and an incredible show!

Since you’re talking about peeing I have to tell you I peed at the checkout in the grocery store yesterday. I didn’t think anyone would know and absolutely couldn’t hold it anymore. The only thing is I felt it running down my leg and knew where it was gonna end up. So I had to get the hell out of there as fast as I could. I told my daughter and she said (she has worked in a grocery store) “Oh Mom don’t worry people do it all the time!😂😂”
