Here's me and my sweet hubby, Reno-2005, the night of the Golden Heart Awards. I didn't win the trophy, but I did get a publishing contract, so I'm happy with the results!

Here we are again. If you're wondering what the secret is to getting your husband to come to your booksigning, try holding it in a bar.

Seriously, though, I have to give him credit. He also showed up the day before at a crowded independent bookstore where the strongest libation was a plate of mint-filled Oreos.

Love Ya, Honey!
