PHONE MESSAGES, 2006

 File — Box: 133

Scope and Contents

150 pages. Another pretty quiet year for me. Far as I know the only time I went out was up to Denver for a few days of One Book, One Denver (Milagro) activities. Otherwise, I stayed home, made a few anti-war speeches, and kept slogging on a couple novels and non-fiction work. And actually sold The Empanada Brotherhood, which would be published in 2007 by Chronicle Books in San Francisco.

Phone messages, again, are mostly from a handful of longtime friends. Some more identifications:
