I am headed to the Outer Banks tomorrow. I am hoping it will be sunny and 10 degrees warmer than New York, which it usually is this time of year. I was spoiled in Charlottesville last weekend where all the flowers were in full bloom. The hyacinths smelled particularly lovely.

I got a fun story in email this week about a Lisa Scottoline signing. Last year at Lisa's signing for DIRTY BLONDE, a couple came up to the table and Lisa could feel sparks flying between them. She commented on how cute they were together and asked how long they had been dating. They told her "we just met on the line and we are going for coffee after the signing." This year they came to the same store for the DADDY'S GIRL signing one year and one book later, still dating. As Lisa says, "See, books really do bring people together.”
