Thanks to Kelly, we rambled out to Cedar Hills Crossing to see Mr. Lehane, author of the Kenzie/Gennaro P.I. murder mysteries, Mystic River, Shutter Island, The Given Day and its two sequels. I took several photos of Mr. Lehane, none of them great. He’s a good storyteller, he is and while reading from the first chapter of his new book, you can see how he drew these people in.
I learned that he misses Boston terribly, (he lives in Santa Monica), he’s a Boston Celebrity (Lahane, you’re a treas-ah!), the Wire was only renewed for five seasons because HBO didn’t have anything else, and no, he still hasn’t found his dog. I hope Portland showed him an okay St. Patrick’s Day.
Coming home the Rose Garden was lit up for the holiday.
How fun. It is always so wonderful to see authors that you love!
I refuse to accept that the Rose Garden is no longer called the Rose Garden. 🙁
I’ve never read any of Lehane’s books, although I did see the film adaptation of Shutter Island. I see that he and I are neighbors! Perhaps I’ll see him one day. (Totally not. I’m sure he lives on the rich side of town. I don’t.)
