Thanks to Heather, our editor, Katie Bignell, everyone at Katherine Tegen Books, and YOU.

I’m still woefully behind on blog posts, so as long as I’m on the computer, I thought I’d post this photo, from the first Radford Book Festival. They did a great job with it. But here’s the shot that made me feel like singing the Mary Tyler Moore theme song. I made it!
