On Friday night, I sat down with some readers (my readers are wonderful!) in the hotel lobby. Paranormal writer Jade Buchanan was there, along with her sister Sarah, and friends Christine and Kim. They are the loveliest people, and luckily I had a big box of books donated from my publisher, so it was a literary trick-or-treat for all of us. I wish I could do this more often.
