And yes, all of those happened yet again. One of the best panels I attended was “Buy This Book!” given by Jenny Gardiner (www.jennygardiner.net), along with her agent Holly Root, agent Barbara Poelle, and Pocket Books senior editor Abby Zidle. It was here that I discovered an often repeated secret but [...]

Heck, I didn’t even know I was joining one until I was already a member. What am I talking about, you ask? Well, it’s the Owners and Operators of Jeep Wranglers club. I know, I know. Not a very exciting name. In fact, that’s not even the name. We don’t really have a name. AND we don’t really do anything officially. I don’t get junk mail, advertisements or even welcome cards. Of [...]

If two’s company, is three a crowd? Yes, the rumors you’ve heard are TRUE. The [...]
