San Antonio Book Signing
Update for those of you attending the signing in San Antonio next week (!!) at the RWA Conference: We've been told that readers won't be allowed to bring in any books from home to be signed.*sad face*
So, what I'm going to do is bring some transparent bookplates - feel free to ask me to sign them for you. They're kinda neat - once you put them in a book, the book looks signed. See some of you in just over a week! :-)

Friday Book Club and Wild Invitation
Time for the Friday Book Club! What are you reading and loving this week?
Plus, a quick note - if you tried to buy WILD INVITATION on Kindle within the past week, you may have found the entire anthology didn't download. I'm happy to report that the issue has now been fixed. Yay! So if you did have a problem with the file, you should be able to redownload it without issues.
Apologies for the glitch everyone. Sometimes technology decides it doesn't like us. Also, if you review on Amazon and get Wild Invitation on Kindle in the future, I'd really appreciate it if you could mention that the Kindle file is okay now. Thank you in advance!
