Thanks to Northshire Bookstore in Manchester, Vermont. We had a book signing, did some skiing and met some great folks during our time there.

It was a pleasure to chat with the Wyoming cowboy who I believe is the best murder mystery novelist in America. We found Craig Johnson in Fort Myers, Florida. He's a heck of a nice guy. Pick up one of Craig's 'Walt Longmire novels' and you'll be hooked!
I signed books in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. Great town! My thanks to Izzy and Vergie for taking care of me at Off the Beaten Path Bookstore.
