My friend, the author

Today I was lucky enough to attend a local book signing by my friend, Toni McGee Causey. Toni and I first met in early 2001. We went to see Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. I was impressed by her then, and I'm even more impressed by her now. I'll never forget the e-mail that Toni sent to me on my 26th birthday.

For more information on her new novel, go here. It was great to see the crowd at the book signing event and visit a little with Toni's super swell husband, Carl. Toni looked over the moon, and deservingly so. I am so happy for my lovely and talented friend.
