Guesting at Dear Reader: on the virtues of patience, a teen book club pick, and a Small Damages giveaway

Today I'm honored to be filling in for Suzanne Beecher, the creator of that vast and wonderful book site, Dear Reader.  She's on vacation, building a tree house with her four grandchildren.  I, in my essay, am reflecting on patience, or rather, how writing Small Damages over such a long period of time taught me one of the most important things I now know about books. 

Small Damages has been chosen by Dear Reader as the featured title in the Dear Readers Teen Book Club for the week of September 3, 2012.  I would love for you to participate.

In the meantime, three copies of Small Damages are being given away this week.  Just hop on over here, to the Dear Reader site, for more information.

Thank you, Dear Reader!
