My daughter is desperate to get a dog.

I, on the other hand, am not, especially since I have the distinct feeling that ‘her’ dog will end up being my long-term responsibility. Having already raised five children and outlived two cats, I’m not looking for another body to share the space my husband and I are finally beginning to reclaim for ourselves. Knowing that I probably couldn’t change my daughter’s feelings about getting a dog, I resolved to use reason to change her mind.

I’m really excited about my newest venture in relation to the Bob White Birder Murder Mysteries – beginning September 1, 2011, Bob’s girlfriend Luce Nilsson is going to be posting her own blog!

I get a lot of questions from would-be authors about how to sell their books, and there’s one piece of advice I give them that probably sounds weird: don’t do book store signings.
