Oh my goodness! One of my oldest friends emailed me this weekend with this flyer.  I’m so proud of her, I can’t even say. Of course, I can say.  I’m a writer.  That’s my job.  I can’t stop grinning for her.  I know what she’s feeling – the giddiness and elation and I wish her so many more of this exact sensation.

Who’d have ever thought, way back in high school when we were so goofy, that we’d both really end up writers. How outstandingly fabulous.

See her right there on May 22nd – The Secret by Kristy Westphal.
