I apologize in advance, as this post is going to be a little long. I'm making up for two week's worth of IMM since my hard drive crashed two weeks ago, making it a little bit hard to blog. YAY for a fabulous husband who installed a new hard drive.

I can't wait for her book to be released this fall! It's a fantastic debut! Thank you to Kiki, we have a few SIGNED bookmarks will be giving away for an upcoming Freebie Friday.
