Thanks Gordon!
Paul, I plan on attending your Starbucks signing, which combines two of my favorite things: books and frothy coffee drinks. I will put the Pen It! conference on my calendar too. Do you know what time your presentation is scheduled? I would love to hear your thoughts about journalism and especially book writing, since I would love to take that plunge.

Peppermint mocha, nonfat no whipped… yes! Looking forward to seeing you. Not sure about my time slot at the writers conference yet. I think they’re filling up the final slots.
