Aaron Made My Day!
Aaron from Ohio, shown here with me at the Colonial Williamsburg Visitor's Center, made my day today. Several years ago when he was in sixth grade, he and his family visited Colonial Williamsburg, They purchased Lottie's Courage, my first book in the bookstore, but they didn't meet me.
Today I met Aaron and his family. Aaron's mom told me that Lottie's Courage was Aaron's favorite book and he had read it five times. Wow! How gratifying for an author to know that someone liked her book enough to read it more than once.
Thank you, Aaron! Readers like you make the arduous work of writing, rewriting, and revising all worthwhile.
A Delightful Group of Readers
Today while signing books at the Visitor's Center at Colonial Williamsburg, I met a delightful group of readers. Right to left, they are Janna (Germany), Brittany, Karen, Carol, Beatriz (Spain) and Hannah (Germany). It was great to meet foreign exchange students and their sponsors.
