Tonight, Nov. 12, at 6:30 p.m., I’ll give what appears to be my last book talk of a very busy year at St. Paul’s the Apostle Catholic Church in Greensboro on Horse Pen Creek Road. The event has been planned since summer, and is part of a one parish, one book program. Thanks to Jeannine Martin for organizing the event and selling so many books.

Since the release of My Cousin the Saint in May 2008, I’ve given 76 book talks in seven states. Several more to come in 2010, including one at Penn State University in March and Wisdom House retreat center in Litchfield, Conn., in late April.

For those in the Mooresville, Lake Norman area, I will be speaking at St. Therese Catholic Church on Oct. 5 at 7:30 p.m. The church is located at 217 Brawley School Road. This coming Saturday, at 7 p.m., I will be speaking at the Barnes & Noble at Friendly Center.

Looking to next month, I have book talks set for St. Thomas More in Chapel Hill on Nov. 1, at the High Point Friends of the Library on Nov. 4 and St. Paul the Apostle Church in Greensboro on Nov. 12. These are all evening events, around 7 p.m.

Book signings will follow each talk. Come on out!
