Got It In One

July 11, 2012

It took about ten seconds for John MacMichael to guess the answer to my last quiz. Yes, I was in Seattle.  I was there for my agent’s annual retreat, and I caught the Tutankhamun exhibit while I was there.

It’s been roughly a year since I started making my backlist available in epub formats, so this seems a good time to shuffle through the records and come to some kind of conclusion.
