Nothing beats this moment that happened today: the early and unexpected arrival of my new book. It is so exciting to actually hold it in my hands. A book launch celebration is coming soon, followed by a multi-city book tour! www.broadleafbooks.com/store/produc...

This is my booth at the famous Blackbird Studio where I'm recording the audiobook for my new work. This is the fun part of the process and I'm grateful for the kind sound engineers and their patience.
