If you're hoping to get a book from me at the Friday signing, now's your chance to preorder! This Cat only booked a carry-on so I'll be bringing a few books of my choosing! UNLESS you let me know what you want ahead of time!

Bless you and your excellent photo taking skills. That's the best photo I've had in years! I hope we're going to run into each other at Can*Con too!
