"Meeting" the Librarians

My friend C.W. Gortner, who has written a string a wonderful historical novels and is poised to take the world by storm with Mademoiselle Chanel, was a featured author at ALA last week. He sent me this wonderful photo, of my novel The Tapestry at the Simon & Schuster booth.

The American Library Association's conference is in Chicago, where I was born. I feel like everything came together in that moment--my book was shown at a conference in my birthplace, with librarians buzzing around. Librarians are some of my favorite people on earth!!

Thank goodness for friends like Chris Gortner.
