I do not currently have a review page or any reviews posted on my site (well, other than one line.) But then, I almost never read reviews that are attached to…

Went to Fall for the Book Festival in Fairfax, VA this weekend. John and I appeared on a panel with fellow writers Brenda Clough and Sue Lange (check out their stuff here: Book View Cafe.) The panel was great fun. Afterwards Brenda and her husband Larry fed us lamb. I love lamb. I’ve almost never…
