There's nothing like a little live music to get the blood flowing. Now that I'm energized and ready to rock, I'll be back at the book signing table tomorrow (September 18) from 2 to 4, at the Books-a-Million in Philadelphia's Galleria Mall. And this coming Saturday, September 20, I'll be brandishing my pens at the Books-a-Million in Lancaster, Pennsylvania from 1 to 3.
So if you're in the neighborhood, please swing by and say hi!
