But Let's Not Speak Of What Might

I Have Done Quite A Few Signings At Bookstores, Libraries And Conferences. I Have Received Phone Calls And Letters From People Who Liked The Book.

So, Yes, At Least From My End. You Could Say There's A Lot Of Alison [mcghee] In Gollie Too.

We Were 15 Minutes Into It And Nothing Was Happening; I Thought, Well, That's Not Going To Work. Then All Of A Sudden Everything Clicked. I Don't Know How Long It Took Us, But I Would Just Show Up At Alison's [mcghee] Office. She Would Type And We'd Just Kick It Back And Forth. Writing Is So Scary For Me, Such A Lonely Endeavor, And It Became A Wonderful Thing To Show Up And Have Somebody Else Go Through It With Me. It Was Actually A Wonderful Experience.

That You Can Go Anywhere In America And Get A Book From A Library Is Just The Most Amazing Thing In The World. It's Not A Duty; It's A Privilege And It's A Joy. That Joy Is Doubled And Tripled And Quadrupled If You Read With Other People.

Going Out And Not Only Meeting The Kids, But Meeting The Teachers And The Librarians And Seeing The World, Fills Me Up.
