Helen Thorpe Appears At The Tattered Cover Bookstore

Helen Thorpe appeared at the Tattered Cover Bookstore last night to be interviewed by NPR and to read from and autograph copies of her new book Soldier Girls.  The place was packed, and a number of Denver's  movers and shakers were in the audience, including Governor John Hickenlooper (Thorpe's husband).  I also noticed former Denver Post columnist and author Dick Kreck (aka Mr. Beer) in the crowd, too.  The previous night author Deborah Harkness signed copies of her new novel, The Book of Life, the finale of her series featuring witch Diana Bishop.  She also attracted a huge audience, which some wags unjustly referred to as a coven instead of a crowd.  How unfair.
