Some emails are even better than chocolate

If you know me at all, you know how I feel about chocolate, but seriously…this note from a local teacher just made my whole week.

Dear Kate,

I just picked up 45 copies of your new book – it looks to be exactly what I needed to help commemorate the Quad. 

I am only a few pages in and I am so impressed with the voice in which you tell this young boy’s story. 

I’ll be finishing it tonight, even though I have papers to grade…

Thank you, Miss Miller!  I just did a major happy-dance right at my computer.

In other news, don’t forget that you have a chance to win a signed copy of Champlain and the Silent One this week (just one copy…not 45…but still…).  Just check out this post and leave a comment by midnight EST this Friday to be entered in the drawing!
