7-Day Author Forecast for Feb. 11-17

Hallelujah! I am back from the dead, or at least the bed, as in the place I spent six straight days with a fairly unpleasant case of flu. We’ll get some good topics going this week to make up for last week’s vacuum. But here, as tradition dictates, are the authors coming to town.

Feb. 11, as in tonight

Jonathan Burnham Schwartz. “The Commoner: A Novel.” 7:15 p.m. at Decatur Library. “The Commoner” is the story of Haruko, who marries the Crown Prince of Japan in 1959 and does not live happily ever after.

Feb. 14

Neal Boortz. “Fair Tax: The Truth. Answering the Critics.” 7 p.m. at Barnes & Noble, The Avenue at West Cobb.

Ron Draluck. “Push Button Investing in Real Estate.” 11:30 a.m. at Eagle Eye Book Shop. 2076 N. Decatur Rd., Decatur.

Feb. 16

Poetry Atlanta Presents. 2 p.m. at Wordsmith Books, 141 E. Trinity, Decatur. Poetry by Laurel Snyder, Katie Chaple and Chelsea Rathburn.

Dan Kennedy. “Rock On.” 7:30 p.m. at Wordsmith Books. Kennedy had a sweet job making commercials for Atlantic Records, but he had it just as the whole decrepit music industry was falling apart due to digital downloading and the decline of the CD. He wrote a really, really funny memoir about it. I’ll come back to “Rock On” later in the week I hope. In case I don’t, here is my review that ran Sunday.
