This week, Needle in the Bone was featured in both the Kansas City Star and on KCUR’s “Up to Date” radio show.

The radio interview with me highlighted the themes of the book and what struck me as important about this story. You can listen to it here. The review, part of Brian Burnes’ Readarama column, looks at when and why I wrote this book as well as the book’s title — see it here.

Both the interview and radio show highlight my upcoming presentation on the book at the Plaza branch of the Kansas City Public Library, 4801 Main St., Kansas City, MO, which is happening 6:30 p.m. on Thurs., Jan. 31st. If you’re in the area, please join us! There will a short reception before the reading and a chance to ask questions afterwards.
