Serendipity

My brother bought me a book and mailed it to me today. I'm so excited to have it, as I've shown much restraint with not buying it for myself. I actually read the first 14 pages at Davis Kidd last week because I just couldn't stand it.

Multiple people have emailed me about this book and told me that the writing style reminded them of mine.


So, I was teaching at the Tennessee Young Writer's Workshop in July and I looked at Darnell, my famous fiction-writer cousin with the book out, and I say, "Hey, do you know any thing about this book about finding salvation at the Dairy Queen?" She points over to Schuyler, who is a ray-of-light talented student in the camp and said, "Susan Gilmore is Schuyler's aunt.

Such a small world.
And so now I'm really, really looking foward to reading the book.
Thanks, Aaron.
