Guess what showed up on my front porch today? The author copies of my next novel, SONG OF THE NILE! I was so excited I had to make a pyramid of them, in keeping with my Egyptian themes. I felt like, for tradition’s sake, I ought to have run out the front door and bragged to my neighbors Calvin and Joy, but as this is my second historical fiction novel this year they might think I should be blase about it. I’m not!
