Last night was my very first book signing/book talk. Other than me speaking far too fast, forgetting to take out my gum, and accidentally wearing my sneakers instead of the pair of strappy sandals I had picked out, it went well.

After many delays, and more drama than I can possibly get into here, I have finally finished Book two in the Sweet River Redemption series. Praise be to Jesus, since it wasn't me that got it done.

Gilbert's steadfast affection and then sacrificial love for Anne is a beautiful thing in both it's simplicity and faith.
