I doubt many writers have had the opportunity to be involved in a project as I am about to describe.
Not unlike a great number of people, I frequent a particular restaurant a bit more than what my waistline requires.
On our several trips there Jane and I have become friends with Nora the head waitress. She is one of the most delightful people I have ever had the good fortune to meet.
We of course invited her to last Saturday's launch for Crossing The Centerline. Unfortunately she had to work and was unable to attend, but did send her daughter in her stead to purchase two books. Both with exact signing instructions
Today by chance we stopped in for lunch and found she was gifting one of the books to a regular of her's who was celebrating her 93rd. birthday. This customer had purchased an anthology I was part of last year and so enjoyed my story therein she told Nora she was eagerly waiting for my book to come out. Nora being Nora made sure her wait was not wasted.
I won't bore you with the dialoge that passed between us all, but I will tell you the kiss on the cheek I received made all those hours at the keyboard well worth while.
