Yay! My reblog button is back, baby! I looked earlier today and it wasn’t… so this is a nice surprise!
Today was my first day on the phones with real, live customers…

I have several books by authors you know from this blog! The door has been opened, so… get ready on that for the near future!
There are many things to love about this book. I almost don’t know where to begin. Let’s see…
