Yesterday, I was in the middle of writing a scene in my novel -- a culminating scene where we finally begin to understand something important about the main character -- and I was beginning to have my doubts.

Was I the one who broke the news? (If not it's cool.) I was just amazed that the Edgar folks hadn't told you yet!!

Just so you know, a few months after I dropped off your bookmarks, I found your book on the library shelf. (and she would have purchased two copies, one for each branch.) So I was glad about that too!

Thank you as always about the bookmarks. I so appreciate it -- and I'm always happy to return the favor! :)

Thank you, Jeannine!

And that cafe was a favorite. Sad to learn it has closed. There is something about having a cafe around the corner.
