Yesterday, we drove from Chestertown to Andover, a town north of Boston. I have it on good authority that this is how Iggy spent the day in our absence.

It makes me sad to think of her there pining, but it makes me glad to know she’ll be there waiting when we get home.

In the mean time, we’re heading to the Hynes Convention Center today to set up our booth for the AWP Bookfair. It will be a long and trying day of schlepping and stacking and arranging books and banners just so.

It’s also exciting though. We have two never-before-seen titles to put before the world. We have old friends to see and new ones yet to meet. Or so we hope. No matter how many books we sell, the real fun (and value) of these shows is the connections we make.

In the mean time, if you see Iggy strolling miserably on Queen Street, please give her an encouraging pat, and let her know we’ll be home before long.
