Friends and acquaintances from all parts of my life joined a capacity crowd last night at A Great Good Place for Books in Oakland to hear me read from “Wrestling with God”– my editor from my Oakland Tribune days, a buddy from my Zumba class, folks from the neighborhood, and several writer friends, including one who has been following the progress of the WWG manuscript since 2003.

Thanks, everybody. I had a genuinely good time and I hope you did too.
