My deepest apologies and thanks to everyone who tried to make it out to the Sherwood Library event last Tuesday. What a night . . . I spent three hours in the middle of the ice storm (which didn't seem like it was going to be bad) trying to get there, only to have to turn around at 7:30 when I got to Old Town, Alexandria, which was a parking lot. Stopped at Wendy's, went to the bathroom, got back in the car for a two-hour drive home. Argh. All in all, five hours on the road to go 64 miles, which adds up to roughly 12 miles an hour. I was honored that anyone came out in that mess to hear me, and so frustrated not to be able to make it.
We've rescheduled for March 18 at 7:30 -- hoping for better weather!
I gave my wife your book for Valentine's Day and she absolutely loved it. She's ready to start reading it all over again. She's not only an Austen fan but has chronic pain issues of her own. For that reason, your story really spoke to her. We'll be in the area on the 18th. Hopefully we'll see you at the signing!
