Its our weekly quilt-making confab at "The Book, With Earl Merkel," and weve madly stitched together a show that will include... -- a madcap essay from Contributing Editor Rich Le Cropane? that sets science back several millennia or so, titled "Now Were Getting Somewhere"; -- a "classic conversation" interview with author and "Dear Abby" heiress Amy Dickenson on her books and advice-column works; -- author-musician Mary Morenos poignant memoir of life & love; -- a timely and hilarious "poem" of modern-day living under the governmental thumb by author & former FBI agent Michael Tabman?; -- media publicist Milt Kahns advice on getting-the-word-out on your writing; -- a piece by Rob Walker titled "Hands On" writing, an elbow-deep mini-tutorial focusing on how to hand-jive your way into your characters minds; and much, much more!
