The other night, I made a 90-minute drive north to do a library event for HEARSE AND BUGGY. Because it was an evening gig, I invited Dear Daughter #2 to go along with me. I figured that if she came we could:a) have some uninterrupted time together in the car, b) she could handle book sales, and c) I simply enjoy her company.

I don’t think we were ten minutes into the ride and I knew I’d made a smart call. The time alone enabled us to catch up on all the goings-on in the 7th grade as well as so...
