I hope you've all found A Most Unsuitable Man and enjoyed it. It's received rave reviews, which is delightful. Booklist described it as "sublime." Any author has to develop a tough skin about reviews, but that doesn't mean we don't revel in the good ones.

My next bit of travel will be to Calgary on April 16th. I'll be in Lincoln, Nebraska on May, 14th, at a library run conference. Details on both are here.

All best wishes, and I hope that for some of you, at least, spring is coming as beautifully as it is here in British Columbia.
