Title: Upcoming David Selby appearances in WV
Post by: MsCriseyde on April 22, 2008, 03:17:04 AM

David Selby is scheduled to give the commencement address at the Blue Ridge Community and Technical College graduation ceremony to be held Friday, May 23. The college is in Martinsburg, but the ceremony will actually be held in Inwood.

Some May book signings in West Virginia to promote Lincoln's Better Angel (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1932278273/criseydsdarkshad) should be announced soon. Check DavidSelby.com (http://www.davidselby.com) for updates. (The site's Welcome page explains various options for receiving site updates via email or RSS.)

Selby also recently recorded a radio drama, The Highest Tide, for the BBC. It should air in June, but it will be available for those of us in the States to listen to online for a week following its broadcast.

From what I gather, it's based on the novel by Jim Lynch. (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000NIJ492/criseydsdarkshad) Click the link to read the plot summary.
