Commonwealth Club Pix

My compadres and I had a fine evening at the Commonwealth Club last week. Davina Baum of Chow moderated and asked us thoughtful questions like "When writing memoir, whose story is it to tell?" Which led us to an interested and lively discussion of how do you choose what stories to tell, and what ends up on the cutting room floor? What were your families' reactions? Why do you write and why memoir?Here is a picture from the panel. From left to right is Davina, Romney Steele, author of "My Nepenthe," me, and Kate Moses, author of Cakewalk.
