Join us August 16, for a booksigning at the Barnes and Noble in West Chester, Ohio. Four of my Indiana writing buds and I will be there for a panel and then to sign books. We’d love to have you join us!

I’ll tell you more about this great book next week. For now, suffice it to say, that it arrived in the mail and I grabbed it and moved it to the top of my reading pile. I love Susan’s books, and this one didn’t disappoint … at all… well other than the fact it’s the last book in the series. …
