Librarians and Good Samaritans

Yesterday I went to Philadelphia for the A.L.A. convention. The weather was snowy, windy, and very cold, but Putnam’s had arranged transportation for me, fortunately. It was great fun getting to meet so many book-lovers; I owe librarians a huge debt of gratitude as they have been very helpful over the years in promoting my books.
Not much else to report. There is one bit of good news, though. Remember that story last month of the blind man whose guide dog saved him when he fell onto the subway tracks in NYC? Orlando, the dog, was 11, too old to continue as a guide dog, and his owner could not afford to keep him and a new guide dog, too. But the story drew national attention, with this happy ending, thanks to the generosity of those who heard about it. http://www.today.com/video/today/5418...
