Tonight at 7:00 CST/8:00 EST I'll be having a Twitter Livestream conversation with fellow St Louis journalist @jrosenbaum on my new book HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT. I will answer your questions! Tweet your questions to #HidingInPlainSightQA and tune into my Twitter tonight!
We were planning to do this as a live event in St Louis but obviously that can't happen. But I'm glad that @jrosenbaum is still willing to be the recorder of deeds! 😉
(This conversation may get #SoStLouis -- but ask me anything. And get my new book at hidinginplainsightbook.com!)
