"I have learned this at least by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." —Henry David Thoreau

Where human nature is weakest - the bookstore!

Many thanks to Heidi Raak and The Raven Bookstore in Lawrence, Kansas, where I spent a cool, November afternoon last Saturday, meeting customers and signing copies of Where the Wind Blew. The well-written, two-sentence book blurb is no easy task, and The Raven’s bookshelves are filled with yellow slips of paper with carefully crafted recommendations by Heidi and her staff. What a delight to know that such havens for books and booklovers still exist!
