Selling "The Cielo" at a block party

The annual block party of my parish, SS Peter and Paul in Milwaukee, is not only a good fund-raiser but also a lot of fun. It was a beautiful day Saturday after a lot of rain and, except for the mosquitoes, perfect for the event. I had a table in the "market" and greeted old friends and made new ones. And sold some books.

It's surprising that the book is still getting attention since it's been out since last November. But the other day, out of the blue, I received an email from a magazine in Canada asking for a copy for a review. "Accenti," which is published quarterly, calls itself "The Canadian Magazine with an Italian Accent." It looks fascinating from its website and I'm looking forward to the review.
