Once again, I wish to thank everyone who has visited this page. Although I have done book signings at Barnes & Noble in Mayfaire during the Christmas season in the past, this year a policy change will not make signings at that time possible this year. The good news is that they have a good inventory of the book, and as you know, it can be a Christmas present that can last a lifetime.
