I can’t believe it’s already Friday! Had so much fun in Atlanta on Wed and Dallas last night. Everyone had lots of questions so I was chatting my head off. And we’re all eating a lot of chocolate, btw! It’s very good for us. It is! Antioxidants and all that.

Now, on every tour, I pop around to do what are known as stock signings — autographing books at stores in the local area in addition to my announced event. And everywhere I go this week, it seems I am running into other writers! Just in from the airport on Wed afternoon, I was signing copies of KTS and K2 paperback at Borders and I looked up to see Haywood Smith, author of The Red Hat Society and Ladies of the Lake. Now, Haywood and I shared a stage at the Decatur Book Festival in 2008, so it was a real treat to catch up. And then, on Thursday in Dallas, I met first-time novelist Patricia Falvey, whose The Yellow House is coming out in Feb and, I hear, getting great reviews. Even more small world? I mentioned at my signing at the Dallas Barnes & Noble that I saw Patricia — and one of the readers told me she and Patricia go to the same hairdresser! So you see? I write about community and supporting each other, and we really, truly share all these little connections to one another. I wonder who I’m going to meet today as I head to the friendly Midwest…
