Sunshine bathed the street and thirteen people waiting there, about thirty yards from our door. Long white robes with deep hoods hid their faces

My Email This Morning
WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT’S THE FINAL BOOK???? This is karma. Some years ago Jeaniene Frost called me terribly upset. The publisher scheduled a signing but only gave her three weeks to promote it and she was all like, “Three weeks isn’t enough! I will get people complaining that they didn’t know about it.” And
