From a motel room in Nashville

Hey, Nashville peeps–thanks so much for showing me the love tonight. We had a great signing for THE FIXER UPPER at Davis-Kidd Books here. I’ve been signing books at this store since I first started getting published–17 books ago, and the welcome in Nashville is always so warm and down-home. I even had a chance to catch up on two old, old friends from my hometown of St. Petersburg. I’ve known Joe since he was four and I was five, I think. Our mothers were best friends, and our older sisters were close friends too. As for Bruce, his older sister is one of my oldest, dearest friends. So we had a Bay Point Junior High reunion, right there in Davis-Kidd. I’m off to Lexington, KY. and Joseph-Beth Books in the morning–and if you Tenn-Ky. readers have any good junking suggestions for the trip up there, send ’em my way.
