I have a fabulous friend who I chased down in our university days, who is still one of my very best friends. (I really did have to chase her down. She had her nose in a book and was annoyed at being interrupted, if I recall properly. A real kindred spirit!) She’s now a bookseller, a book reviewer and a card making enthusiast. Anything she puts her mind to, she does with style, and I admire her immensely. I have never met a more interesting woman than my friend, and I can always count on her to be excited with me on my new releases. HIS UNEXPECTED FAMILY was no exception.

I was so thrilled to find this card in my mail box…

She made both of these cards, but the lavender card is the one in honor of this newest book release. The cream/black card she made for my previous book release… I keep them on the top of my writing desk because I never quite know how to celebrate my book releases, and when I receive I card from Jess, it just feels … complete.
