A while back, I was invited to "do" a book club in Ft. Myers, FL. While this was my second book club in Ft. Myers (is it something in the water?) QUEEN OF THE ROAD was this club's very first book.
Oh, the pressure. Even more so when I was informed that the group consists of lawyers, judges and mediators. (Can one be sued for snark? How about causing the breakup of a book club before it really even gets started?)
"Judging" by the picture, I need not have worried, as the gals certainly got into the whole Queenly scene. Besides, I'm quite certain they would have granted me diplomatic immunity, especially while they were imbibing my patented (hear that? Patented. And just look at the legal muscle I have now to enforce it!) Jubilees:
Doesn't that make you want to go out and get one right now?
See ya!
(And gals, if you're still meeting, please let me know. Yes, we had a lovely discussion, but I need to be reassured I wasn't somehow single-handedly responsible for the demise of your fabulous group!)

Hey There, I saw your comment on Stephanie Klein's blog and immediately recognized you as the author of one of my favorite books and one of the first books I read last fall when I finally quit my job to follow my dreams! Just wanted to say hi and let you know I enjoyed your book a lot. I also love that you (and your husband) went after what you wanted. I am trying to figure out what I want and building the courage to go after it as well.

Thanks, Rebecca! Best of luck to you in following your dreams. Although they may be full of ruts and wrong turns, here's hoping you never have to use the runaway truck ramp.
