The mid-day sun viewed from our house last week. We will soon lose all direct sunlight as the sun falls too far below the mountains. Winter has come to Alaska, even if the snow hasn’t.

Dear northern reader,

Any plans to be in Palmer, Alaska, this weekend? Or Anchorage next month? Talkeetna?

Now that my US and UK book tours are wrapped up, I have a chance to do some book events around my home state. Here’s my schedule. If you’re in the area, I hope you’ll stop in.
