One had even handmade a belt of tiny book covers and came over to show me one of the book covers was mine! My Red, Hot & Blue story, TREY, will live forever as a belt link. So cool! My friend took a picture. My cover is in the bottom row, 4th from the left. The Memorable (and sometimes surreal) – * Being asked by one of the hotel guests if we were with the […]
