Baby Pictures

I never met a bookstore I didn't love.

But I especially love my local Barnes & Noble in Reston, VA.

As soon as I heard the books were on the shelves (face-out, in two different spots!), I rushed to the store like a typical newbie author, camera in hand. I needed to make sure I got my dorky photo taken with my books before they all sold out :)

Mission accomplished!

Congratulations! And I'm glad I'm not the only one who does that! I'm looking forward to your book signing at that store in May.

Mason - Thanks! I can't decide what would look better, a shelf of my books, or an empty shelf where my books were.

Margot - Thanks! It's nice that my friends share my excitement.

Ingrid - Thanks! I think all authors do that. At least I hope they do, it'll make me feel a little less goofy.

Jane - Thanks! They'll grow up so fast, won't they.

Sue Ann - Thanks! Yeeeeeee ha! is the same sound I made at the bookstore! Got a few strange looks, I did.

Elizabeth - Thanks! I hope you survive spring break. I've got a couple days left, and I think I can make it...

Beautiful pictures! Congratulations!
I know I'd be doing the same--after I made sure to put my books in front of Dan Brown's :)

Gotta love it, Alan. Congrats, man!

Cricket - Thanks! Face out is nice. Definitely.

Lorel - Thanks! Taking pics in the bookstore was worth all the weird looks I got.

Jude - Thanks! What's the gestation period for your baby?
