He had cases and cases of books stacked in his garage and used to sell them out of the trunk of his car in parking lots. If it wasn't Nicholas Sparks, maybe someone else knows who I'm thinking of.Lois Winstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01866423986250423199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-72603094622022280172012-07-09T16:35:28.601-04:002012-07-09T16:35:28.601-04:00Absolutely, Beth ...

I often didn't tell my office how to reach me, either. I do take cards and bookmarks on vacation, though. That way, if I get into a conversation with people and they ask what I do and are interested in mysteries, I can hand them something to remember my name with.Beth Groundwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13999372882748655834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-24236166553849748852012-07-09T08:03:24.276-04:002012-07-09T08:03:24.276-04:00I'm so glad to read this!
