NO BORING PARAGRAPHS

So far, 2014 has been quite a tumultuous year, starting with the chemical spill that affected the water supply in Charleston on January 9th and continuing with my move to Williamsburg.  I've been living out of my suitcase for more than 2 months and it's a little scary to admit I'v grown used to it.
With all of this upheaval, it warmed my heart to see my new novel, ALL THAT'S MISSING, on the Teen Books shelf at the Williamsburg Barnes and Noble in New Town yesterday.  Another bright spot came when I found a recent review by a Goodreads reader who wrote about what he liked in my book.  Here is part of what he said. 
"I haven't read a book like this, probably in my whole life. Most books seem to go all perfect, relationships are connected strongly, and it's almost like a unicorn flying on a cloud. But this one, there are trials. There was even a city that doesn't exist, mixed with Richmond, VA. The scenery changes as well, the background switches places with another. I learned a lot from this book. It makes me realize how important families are, and to make the best of life. Your family is so important, and this book shows you what happens without family. It teaches you how to solve problems, such as when Arlo was alone. I also learned how to make the best of your circumstances, and your life as well. Great book. I would suggest this book to anybody. (There aren't boring paragraphs that you want to skip. Read every single word.)"It doesn't get any better than this.  Grateful.  That's how I'm feeling.  Extremely grateful.
