Dead Man's Hill

I was thinking about growing up in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania the other day, and it reminded me that I recently published a story about it in Magnolia.

Enjoy!

Moody jazz and Bridgeport. Considering I found out a couple days ago that Thelonius Monk lived here briefly, this video doesn't seem so strange.

Reading at the BPL

I gave a nice little reading and presentation at the Bridgeport Public Library on Saturday. Mary Witkowski has been so helpful to me and I am not pleased to hear that the Historical Collections have had their hours cut. I'm not sure the library understands the amazing resource they have - ten times as large and rich and strange as any other library historical collection I've ever seen.

Amy loves this first shot of me waiting for the presentation to begin.



These next two shots were taken by a former student and freelance photographer, Uriela. Check out some of her work here.



Here's me with my favorite prop, a genuine Frisbie pie plate. Snagged that on ebay a few months back...

Reading at the Barnum Museum

It was a dark and stormy night...

Seriously, I have rarely felt wind like that and certainly not in Bridgeport. Nevertheless, a large crowd showed up for my inaugural reading at the Barnum Museum.



Action photo of me pointing out one of Tom Thumb's hilarious outfits.



Answering questions...



And my "press conference" photo.



Finally, here is me signing books. I lifted this photo from Lori Golias' blog over at News 12. She has a nice report on the event.

Camels and Elephants

I'm featured at the Bridgeport News as of Friday.

“I took narratives of people and wove history into that,” Lehman said of his writing style. “I wanted to make it real.”

Did I really say that? It's amazing how fast interviews go by. You can also find a mention of my book at the Connecticut Post. However, the article at the Bridgeport News is likely to be my best for now.

I'm still waiting for the first 'review' of the book, though!
