A thank-you note

A friend at work pulled my name in our Secret Stalker gift exchange. And then he went way, way above and beyond.

The first thing he did was to find Lev Grossman’s email. He wrote to my favorite author to tell him that I’d chosen my pen name after his main character Quentin Coldwater. Grossman wrote back wishing Jennifer—”I imagine that isn’t her real name”—happy holidays! Then my friend tracked down a signed copy of Silver Arrow for me.

Isn’t that the sweetest gift?! I usually pride myself on being a thoughtful gift giver, but this one made me look like an amateur.

Many thanks, my heart. You’re the best! (You know who you are.)
