Peeping Tom

My favorite photo from last week’s Book Expo America was Erin Morgenstern’s Instagram of the advanced readers copies she acquired while at the Expo.

Erin Morgenstern is the author of THE NIGHT CIRCUS, a book that I enjoyed very much. It is especially thrilling when an author who I respect and admire a great deal is interested in reading one of my books.

Even though I’ve published two novels and have a third on the way, I still feel very much like an outsider when it comes to the publishing world. I’ve always thought of myself as someone who is peeking through the windows into the industry rather than stepping through its door.

Moments like seeing my book in Erin Morgenstern’s pile bring me a bit closer to that proverbial door.
