I met him at a discussion/reading/signing at Barnes and Noble in New York on May 14th. He’s very funny; he had the whole audience laughing out loud over and over again. When he signed my book (ooold copy of The Basic Eight), he signed his name, dated it, and wrote “I wrote this book, Kelly.” It was a perfect way to meet him, and I’m so glad that I had the opportunity to do so.

My friend from college and I accomplished our years-long dream of publishing our first novel! We’re grateful to have worked with PublishAmerica, and beyond ecstatic that Beneath the Shimmering Surface is finally in print. It’s definitely a goal worth pursuing and achieving!
