*You know I'm a fan of reading and books.
*They are my life, my passion, and calling.
*Over the years, I've had the pleasure and honor of meeting many authors.
*I can tell you I've never had the opportunity to be a "character" in a novel. That is until now!
*While Skyping with Chris Grabenstein last fall about his novel Shine, he informed both myself and my class that I would be appearing in an upcoming novel of his.
*I was stunned, thrilled, and amazed.
*Chris' newest work of fiction entered the world at the beginning of December.
*It was exciting to get the book in the mail and search for my name in the story.
*Turns out I'm an FBI agent in the story. So fun!!!
*This novel is our current class read aloud. All my listeners know is that there is a surprise in the story. They keep waiting day in and day out for the big "surprise".
*I can't wait to get to the section of the story where "I" appear.
*Thanks so much to Chris for including me in this awesome story. I'm truly honored.
I love surprising folks with cameo appearances. Thanks for all that you do, Patrick. And you're back in the sequel, too!
