This will be my last post this week as I'm heading to Grand Cayman tomorrow for the FIU/Books & Books Writers' Conference. I'm flying down with most of the faculty; in fact, I'm sitting in a row with two novelists, so I'm putting a lot of thought into my choice of inflight reading. I can't bring a novel by one author without offending the other. (And airlines now make you pay for any additional novels.) So I may go to the bookstore today and buy the latest James Patterson. Offend them both.
