Back in Bay Area

Dr. Donald Pinkel at Roswell Park, Buffalo, N.Y.

I'll be returning to the Bay Area to discuss my award-winning memoir CANCER CROSSINGS: A BROTHER, HIS DOCTORS AND THE QUEST FOR A CURE TO CHILDHOOD LEUKEMIA.

On Wednesday, August 7, I'll be speaking at the San Francisco Public Library, 100 Larkin Street. We'll begin at 6:30 p.m. and I'll be showing vintage photographs from this epic period in medical history.

End of summer with Cancer Crossings

Brilliant Books' front window, Traverse City, Mich.

I ended the summer by attending a family reunion in the Traverse City, Mich., area and appearing at Brilliant Books on Front Street there. The acclaimed film festival had just concluded and it was a great time.
Fun to catch up with family and friends, and the good folks at Brilliant Books are top-notch.  Read More

On Amazon's Alexa

You can now find me there under the handle Bookish Tim -- https://www.witlingo.com/bookish-tim/
Just follow the prompts and you can hear me reading from various works in the upcoming weeks. Some of these will be my own -- Cancer Crossings, Summer of '68, etc. -- but more will be short passages from my favorite writers, famous and unknown.
I'll soon be on Google Home and Microsoft Cortana, too.  Read More

In S.F. with Alta Magazine

The launch for "Cancer Crossings" began on April 15 at Politics & Prose in Washington, D.C., and the first wave of promotion finished 3,000 miles away on June 6 at Book Passage in Corte Madera, Calif.
Book Passage is another amazing indie bookstore. My thanks to the great folks there and to Alta Magazine for naming me as part of its reading series.
Go to Tim Wendel Books on Facebook to find video from the appearance.
It was an incredible 10-week run and so good to catch up with so many friends and make many new ones, too.  Read More
