The Spooky Frog Book Fair was a blast. My favorite book signing was for Mickey, who brought a first edition of Vengeance he found at Half Price Books. It was already signed to someone named Courtney, but I was able to fix that. Now Mickey is a murder suspect! #booksky #writingcommunity #writerslife
