12 years ago today, I became a published author when The Book Whisperer was released. I never imagined how much my personal and professional life would change. Thanks to all of you who have read my books & shared them over the years. I hope they are useful to you.

@CBSSunday is my absolute favorite TV Program that I have been watching every week forever and ever so when I learned that @CripCampFilm was going be featured- my jaw dropped and I laughed with joy. What an absolute honor to be on the show!
