I am scheduled to appear on The TODAY Show with Al Roker and the Book Club Kids on Friday, December 4th at 9:45am! Tell your friends, spread the word and send me some positive thoughts –hopefully I don’t make any social gaffes on national TV… For those of you who miss it, don’t have a TV, despise jovial weathermen, etc., I also have some new events on the schedule! There’s a couple in NYC, right before and after my interview and there is a newly scheduled book signing at the Newtonville Books (Newtonville, MA). Click here for details.

Where the Mountain Meets the Moon has been receiving rave reviews and awards since it was released in June. PaperTigers was delighted to host Grace on Day 2 of her Blog Tour to celebrate its launch and we wish her every success with tomorrow’s appearance. Congratulations, Grace!
