I’m home from a wonderful whirlwind through Ohio! It was a fantastic trip–on all fronts! Even a snowstorm and a case of laryngitis didn’t diminish the experience! I met so many wonderful readers–some were friends I’ve made through Facebook who made heroic efforts to drive to the bookstores. I can’t even begin to say how grateful I felt when I met these friends, face to face! 

And then I met a number of people who have been guests on Amish Wisdom!

It was so enjoyable to spend time in independent bookstores, to meet managers and staffers who are selling our books. At one point, I thought of how my books start out with an idea, in a tiny laundry room…and end up across the country, in a bookstore in Ohio!
