Just wanted to let you know that you can now order signed copies of my novels from Mac’s Backs – Books on Coventry. Either click on that link or use the ORDER A COPY drop-down menu on any of the book pages within my website. If you want more than a signature, let the store know how you’d like me to personalize the book; I’ll get over there as soon as possible so Suzanne can get it into the mail...

“The Jewish sages also tell us that God dances when His children defeat Him in argument, when they stand on their feet and use their minds. So questions like Anne's are worth asking. To ask them is a very fine kind of human behavior. If we keep demanding that God yield up His answers, perhaps some day we will understand them. And then we will be something more than clever apes, and we shall dance with God.”

“Rain falls on everyone, lightning strikes some. What cannot be changed is best forgotten. God made the world, and He saw that it was good. Not fair. Not happy. Not perfect. Good.”
