On Saturday April 21st, John received the the Lifetime Environmental Achievement in the Fine Arts (LEAF) Award from Duke University's Nicholas School of the Environment. I can actually speak from first-hand experience about this weekend in Durham: the people were wonderful, the food was fantastic, and the hospitality was top-notch.

On April 18th and 19th, John and Maggie visited Amherst, Massachusetts for reading, signing, and screening. They also had a great time meeting fans, seeing friends, and talking to local students about writing and filmmaking.

John and Maggie are truly all over the map this month! Before heading to Durham, North Carolina this weekend to receive the Duke University LEAF Award, they will spend tomorrow and Thursday in Amherst.

After a lovely vacation in Italy, Maggie and John are hitting the road in April for lots of screenings and signings. If you're in the New York, Vermont, or North Carolina areas this month, you'll have ample opportunities to find out all about "Amigo" and "A Moment in the Sun" first-hand!

Columbia College Chicago has graciously invited John to be part of their internationally-known Story Week event, being held in Chicago this coming week. The event will feature both "Amigo" and "A Moment in the Sun." Here's all the info from Columbia about readings, screenings, and signings on March 21-23.
