Life on the road isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.  I’m an early riser, but getting up at 4 a.m. to make a flight is early, even for me.  I arrived in Kansas City at 8 a.m., only to find the hotel wasn’t able to check me in until 3 p.m..  Not my idea of fun–and there wasn’t a yarn store in sight!  But, I did get to have lunch with my brother, and the day picked up after that.

Of course, the best part is meeting my readers.  They are by far the most generous and friendly.  One gal drove all the way from Chicago to Indianapolis because she mixed up my travel days and missed me in Chicago.  Why did she drive all that way?  Because she wanted to give me chenille yarn–yards and yards of it! 

I’m fully prepared to give a little speech about 20 WISHES, and any of my other titles, if asked, but I’m finding I hardly need to talk about my books at all.  I overhead ladies discussing my books, and they’re virtually selling my books to each other while they’re standing in line. Bless you!

I’m in Kansas City through Saturday, May 3.  Come on by if you’re in the area—I’d love to see you.
