We interrupt this chronicle of what was happening 100 years ago in the literary and cultural world to look forward to what will be happening next month in the literary and cultural world of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
The Greater Pittsburgh Festival of Books is back—without the rain! [We hope.]
It can’t possibly rain as much as it did last year, so plan to stop by on Saturday, May 11, at the Pittsburgh Theological Seminary on Highland Avenue in Highland Park, conveniently located a few blocks from “Such Friends” global headquarters. We will be there once again all day at our table on Writers’ Row.
“Such Friends” at the Greater Pittsburgh Festival of Books last year
Of course, there will be plenty of copies of the first four volumes in the paperback series, “Such Friends”: The Literary 1920s, covering 1920 through 1923, available at a special Festival discount price. I’ll even sign them!
But, in addition—wait for it—if the Amazon gods smile on us—there will also be copies of Volume V, 1924, available, at a discount and signed. Be the first to get yours!
The layout of all five volumes makes it easy to dip and out or read straight through a year from January 1st through December 31st. And remember, they make great gifts!

Hope you have a great day and I’m looking forward to getting my copy of 1924!
Couple of weeks. My team is doing their part, but the holdup is always Amazon’s crack delivery system…
Wishing you a happy, successful and sunny day, Kathleen!
May your book signing pens run dry ..

I’d settle for just a couple of sales!
I always imagine your global headquarters has a day- bed.to enable to rest from your army of autograph hunters of which there should be legions.
Have a wonderful festival Kath, it will be a great ornament to your city and I wish it every success.
Thank you so much! We’re right up there with the Birmingham Book Festival!
