Sad News:

Jake Woods passed away on September 16th.
Most of us knew him as "Shakey Jake".

Borders Book Signing

That was great!
Our daughters came along to help at the signing and it was well attended! I met some more great people, including another contributor to the book ~ Maddie, from page 4!

Thanks to everyone!

Live at Borders!

Funny, On Tuesday, August 7, while "Up North" I received a call from Sweetwaters Café that people were there for a book signing. Apparently it was in the Ann Arbor Observer that was a scheduled event. ummm... not so much. If I had been in town, I would have hopped over there. Sorry for any inconvenience it may have caused.

not just "best", but #1!

Whoo hooo!
"Who's Behind the Fairy Doors?" moved up from #5 (June) to #1 (July) bestsellers list at Nicola's Books.

Luckily in the NON-fiction, after all, I can't beat Harry.

Fireflies

At this time of year the fireflies are out in numbers. GENERALLY the fireflies are quite benign... However there may be an arsonist or two in the bunch.

They have torched the fairy door at the top of Jefferson Market. Luckily it is a brick building and no other damage incurred. A police report has been filed with the Ann Arbor Police Department.
