The May 16th Big Blue Marble Bookstore reading & signing

Great turnout and my fellow author, Diana Krantz, and I had a great time!


The Q&A session after our readings was really terrific, full of insightful (and fun) questions.


Thank you to Kathie Cronk, my sister and road manager, and Kathleen Harrington, my mom and my booking agent.


This was the last stop on the Sweater Girl Book Tour 2014-15.


Here is a photo from the reading:
