Shore Leave!
Once again, I’m going to be an author guest at Shore Leave - anyone else who’s going to be there, I’ll be at the Meet-the-Authors event Friday (with books to sell/sign!) and also on assorted panels.
Apropos of which, I have dyed my hair purple again, and was standing in line at the drugstore when I felt a very disapproving gaze at about knee level. I looked down to see a little girl - maybe 4? I’m no judge of age when they’re that small - frowning at me. Whene caught my eye, she said, quite distinctly, “Hair’s not supposed to be purple!”
“Mine is,” I said.
She was not convinced, though her mother was mortified.
