Goodreads gets me through the border

Who knew that a Goodreads author profile could get me through the Canadian/US border?

I just did a reading in Vancouver, BC, and I forgot my passport on the boat...in Boston! I did my usual bubbly pitch for the book to the border guard (yes, I will sell it to every person I meet!) and convinced them to let me in.

He asked some usual questions about where I was born and such, but then asked me all about my Goodreads profile. He congratulated me on the 4 star average for Blue Water Dreams and sent me on my way.

Whew. I would have hated to miss the reading - it was so much fun.

And thanks, Goodreads, for lending me some cred as a touring author.
