Five things I thought about during my morning run:
1. Late start. But beautiful morning. Cool. Clear. Blue skies. 2. I would never walk away from you, Justin. (hehe) 3. Man, that mailbox is down. I wonder if it was that wind… 4. One foot, then the next. Sometimes it’s harder than others. 5. Appearance tomorrow in Richmond. Hello, Richmond.

I have the best job in the world. I get to make stories up, play with words, and make books. A dream come true. But it’s rough out there for everybody these days—even writers.

As you all know, my know my first book is out. (Yay!) SCRAPBOOK OF SECRETS has gotten some great reviews—one from the Library Journal. It also was chosen by Jules, the B & N Mystery expert as one of his favorite mysteries for the Nook. Very cool. As for me, I’m gearing up to visit the Harrisonburg B & N to sign books on Saturday at 2:00.
