Some days are just extra special and today was one of them. The weather was gorgeous, which made the drive to Lexington for a book signing sponsored by Kentucky Romance Writers wonderful. Not, of course, that it was as wonderful as the signing. Donning my second identity of Cat Shaffer, I sat between two of my favorite authors and friends, Maddie James and Magdalena Scott, which gave us time to catch up on all the news we'd missed.

I made the trip with my friend fellow Turquoise Morning Press author Jennifer Johnson. BTW, if you haven't read her newest contemporary romance, Rescue Me, do it ASAP. It's a wonderful story that makes you sigh at the end. And the hero is a sexy fireman, and we all know about sexy firemen, right?

We had a marvelous location at Joseph-Beth Booksellers, and for a reader and writer, nothing's marvier than being surrounded by books. Plus the family seemed happy to see me when I got home, which was a relief. I try to keep my absences short so they don't have time to move away while I'm gone. (Just joking -- no way could anyone in our family move in less than a month!)

As great as today was, I will admit it's nice to be home. I do adore an evening curled in front of the television, watching something mindless and noshing on crackers with garlic herb cheese!
