From up here in my fourth floor office, autumn leaves blow by and tap on the window which, considering the height of the trees here in Lincoln, is odd.  I sit higher than most of the trees around the building!  The wind is very strong today, whipping the outside world around, forcing a wind advisory over much of the state.  It reminds me of travel — wanderlust, if you will.  That’s my thinking today with the author events, about traveling with books. . . it makes sense somewhere.

This week with author events, and each subsequent week, we’ll focus on bookstore visits, university visits, and other visits that are more accessible without registration or cost.  This is one of the brilliant ideas of Kristen, our newest blogger here at UNP, who has also brought us Tuesday Trivia and This Week in History.  So without more ado, here (boy, that wind is pretty fierce out there.  Auntie Em!  Auntie Em!) are the author events for the following seven days:

Joanne Wilke wrote about traveling women in Eight Women, Two Model Ts, and the American West.  She’ll be at the MSU Bookstore in Bozeman on Friday, November 16th at 11:00am for a reading and book signing.  On Saturday, she’ll appear at Fact and Fiction Books in Missoula for another reading and book signing at 1:30pm.  Read an interview with Joanne Wilke, just posted to our blog, here.
