There’s walking the streets and street-walking, right? Last year I took the Dasheill Hammett’s San Francisco walking tour with the magnetic Don Herron. We peeked into John’s Grill (home of the Maltese Falcon) and saw the very spot where Sam Spade’s partner was shot…in the fictional real world.
We got to talking, and I told him about my book. He said he’d mention me in a blog post someday. Well check it out! http://www.donherron.com/?p=6082
Take the tour. It’s $20 and wear your walking shoes. After all, if you’re going to walk #thestreetsofSanFrancisco you’d better be able to walk up hill!
I love San Francisco and when I visit again, I’m taking the walking tour you wrote about. Awesome! Off to check out that book review and congratulations on your new book!
Hi Claudia! Awesome blog, great book review from your friend Dashiel,l and your new book sounds like a book I’m going to read very soon! I’m so happy you visited my blog today. I am excited to get to know your books! Warmly, Eleanor
Thanks, Eleanor! Love the idea that Dashiel Hammett could have been my friend. I like to imagine myself back in San Francisco, 100 years ago…
So glad to see this new endeavor, Claudia. Looking forward to more!
Thanks, Miriam. For those who don’t know, Miriam Sagan, the renowned poet of the Southwest, has a beautiful blog: http://miriamswell.wordpress.com and I encourage you all to visit it.
