Heartened

It was heartening to walk into Square Books last night and find Lee Durkee in the middle of an impassioned case he was making to the folks behind the counter that Bill Boyle's novel GRAVESEND should be more prominently displayed. Writers sticking up for other writers! It's a beautiful thing. Then Lee and I went up the stairs into the City Grocery Bar and there was Bill Boyle and we all had a drink on it.
