The book signing went extremely well. I got a lot of publicity in local papers, but I owe a lot of thanks to family and friends who showed up and made it special. Katie had a good time too. She loved the book store (and the candy).

A little over a week later, we heard that Borders was closing 51 more stores and that store was on the list. The people around here were stunned and upset. However, it turned around last week. It all had to do with a buyer and a lease and a deal that fell through. The lease came through, at least on this store, and they will remain open. Whew!
