Dianna and I leave tomorrow for Dallas and the Christian Book Expo, sponsored by the Evangelical Christian Publishers Association. Riven is up for a Gold Medallion in the fiction category Thursday night, so it'll be fun to see what happens there. I am signing the next day and joining a novelists' panel Saturday. If you're in the area, I'd love to see you there. Google "Christian Book Expo" for details.
The following weekend I'm going to Cubs spring training for the first time. Amazing I've never been out there, being a lifetime baseball freak and longsuffering Cub fan. I'm going with one of my best friends, Joe Ragont, who was the Cub batboy in 1956.
Then Dianna and I will be in Kansas to see son Chad, daughter-in-law Christa, and grandson Isaac. We can't wait.

Rooting for Riven! Wish I could attend Book Expo... sounds like lots of fun.
All the best on Riven. Where in KS is Chad? That state is home to our roots.
Chad and Christa and Isaac live in Olathe.
I just finished reading Riven this week and it was 'unputdownable'. I was reading it at stoplights going back and forth to work and every other break I could muster. Touched me on so many levels.
May I ask a question? Even after reading it, I could not decide who was supposed to be the lead character. Did you view one as a lead over the other or in tandem? Wondering how that works when you do a synopsis or other brief summaries of the work. Maybe this could be addressed in one of your future columns in WD?
