On December 2, Willa’s Bible Book Store in Point Pleasant, West Virginia, hosted a booksigning for me, featuring my December book, Love Finds You in Valentine, Nebraska. I have lived in this part of WV all of my life and taught History and French at the Point Pleasant Junior High School for 23 years. I have a wide readership in the local area, and many of my faithful readers, as well as several new readers, attended the booksigning. As a thank you to my fans, I donated a monetary gift for each book sold during the event to a local charity for indigent citizens, Good Samaritan Fund. This amount was matched by store owner, Julia Messick, who is one of my former 9th grade students.
