She is a panelist on NPR's oddly informative game show, "Wait, Wait! Don't Tell Me." A guest on various TV talk shows and the author of the best selling book, The Mighty Queens of Freevillle.

And, yes, it is that Freeville, the one just west of here not far from Dryden, Groton or Ithaca, if you need a morre visible reference point.

On Monday, May 17 at 7 p.m. Dickinson -- the woman behind the Ask Amy advice column -- will read from her work and discusss her writing at the Colgate Bookstore.

A graduate of Georgetown University, Dickincon divides her time between Chicago and Freeville.
