Books, readers, life, joy

I can’t say enough about readers. I had another book signing yesterday (with Autumn Jordon) at the Barnes and Noble at the Lehigh Valley Mall. The people who came up to our table were entertaining, gracious, funny, interesting, respectful, just absolutely wonderful. It has been the same everywhere we (or she or I–depending on whetherContinueContinue reading “Books, readers, life, joy”

Conundrum, anyone?

First off, I stand by my use of the word conundrum. Merriam Webster lists the meaning for this word as: (noun) an intricate and difficult problem.
