Shelf Esteem 62: Author Talk with Debbie McGee

In this month's Author Talk, I chat with local filmmaker and first-time author Debbie McGee about her powerful memoir of love and loss, Cautiously Pessimistic -- as well as about why she was initially reluctant to admit that she was writing a memoir. As always, we talk about the writing life as well as the reading life, including the dangers of listening to audiobooks while doing home renovations.
