I have a long day of driving and then I'll be shelving all embarrassment brain nodes and spreading the Sand-word stealth style in DC at the National Bookfest.

Distant Landshas become one of my faves. Louann and Angel are always good to me. They were out of Sand so I stopped by while I was in LA to bring them some signed copies. She took ten and said they go fast when she puts them right by the cash register. Louann showed me […]
