My book birthday last Tuesday was magnificent. Here are some of the highlights:

‎7:00 am. Woke up to an inbox full of notes from friends, celebrating my book birthday. Shades of Truth and Flickering Hope are OUT! Wondering: are you allowed to eat cupcakes for breakfast on your book birthday?

‎9:15 am. Ate pumpkin bread- a compromise on the cupcake thing. Starbucks is celebrating Christmas this morning in honor of Flickering Hope!

‎10:47 am. Just finished working with two amazing young authors who will be published in this year’s Inklings Book. On my way to The Phillips Brooks School for I Love to Write day. A “real” author visit!

3:00 pm. Finished school visit. Told them bear stories and showed them my husband’s amazing photographs of the bears we saw in Minnesota. Visited Linden Tree and am off to Hicklebees to show them the books. Oh, and to find a cupcake!

5:54 pm. Off to UJam to dance! My cupcake is waiting for me in the refrigerator…

10 pm. Had dinner out with Dave, who brought me flowers. And when we got home? Cupcakes. 🙂
