Back from the book festival in Chicago, where Dave and I got to talk books, meet great writers and stay in a lovely old historic hotel. (I also got barred from a party because I was wearing jeans. Beach not city.)

This was my first-ever Chicago visit so my husband, David, was patient as I shot some tourist pix:
