Skye,
This is so exciting--a real author in Blue Island! Can you tell your fans a little bit about how you met Ms. Hamilton?
Thank you!

Well, I've known her since I was just a blade of grass and she was a soft little apple farmer's bride. She's the reigning oracle in Racine County, Wisconsin, where I grew up--- as well as the best person in the universe, and a great friend to Libraries Everywhere. Her first novel, THE BOOK OF RUTH, which I recommend, really captures the wit and tragedy of our little Wisconsin countryside of rolling hills and stray loons and Love. She's originally from Oak Park--- so she's no stranger to the South Suburbs of Chicago. Come welcome her home!
