Finally figured out how to download photos from my phone, so now I can share the wonderful sight that greeted me and the band when we rolled into Lakeville, Minnesota, a while back. Thank you!

What Did You Write In My Book?
Sometimes I get emails from people wondering what I’ve written in their books. When asked I personalize them as the reader wishes, but in general I sign a specific thing for each book:
Population 485: Welcome to “Nobbern!” (We locals call New Auburn “Nobbern” or “Nauburn” or any variant spelling thereof.)
Off Main Street: I draw an empty thought bubble above the author photo. You can fill in your own saying or — this is frankly more appropriate — simply leave the bubble empty.
Truck: Double Clutch! This phrase will be understood by drivers of a certain age. Failing that, it is explained in the book.
Coop: Oink-a-doodle-doo! Meant to reflect the inclusion of both pigs and chickens in the book. Sadly, due to my fitful penmanship, many people think I have written, Dink-a-doodle-doo.
