Buffett Book Launch

My client
Bill Buffett (right) and his cousin, Warren Buffett, at a signing for Foods You Will Enjoy: the Story of Buffett's Store, which I edited. Below: working with Bill.

Bill and Warren both worked at the legendary Buffett family grocery, in Omaha. Warren contributed a chapter to the book and helped Bill plug it at the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting.

In October, 2008, I took my third trip to Qatar, this time to work on a second essay collection, Qatar: Then & Now.

I taught
two workshops a day to students and community members and helped launch a new writing program: Finding Your Voice, funded by local sponsors including a bank, an art center, and a real estate office.

Earlier
in the year I enjoyed a fascinating six-week residency in Qatar, where I taught writing to a group of Qatar University students and to the QU library staff.
