First I would like to thank all my friends who were brave enough to leave comments.  I know how scary it can be to stare at a blank computer screen.  The rest of you who visited and didn't leave a comment, just get your nerve up and write, hi.  It works for me. 

This week I'm been driving myself crazy researching every book store in Maryland.  Besides the major stores I've found a few that sound really interesting.  I hope I get the chance to visit them. 

I've also been discussing the launch party for the book.  My editor freaked me out when she insisted I invite 200 people at 50 dollars a head.  First, I don't think I know 200 people well enough to get them to come to my party.  And secondly, 50 dollars is a lot of money where I come from.  I finally got her to understand life was different in them there mountains, compared to the big city.

I would also like to say, "Happy Birthday!" to Sierra.  She turned sweet 16 this week.

 

 

 

I'd love to come to the launch party. But it would cost be more than $2,000 to get there from Australia. Savannah's Castle is a great book. I loved reading several different drafts. Now I want to get my hands on the book. And so should everyone else!
Congratulations and best wishes from Down Under,
