Valanee's Author Signing + Main Characters

It's after midnight, so it's October 16, 2015. I will write anyway.
Tuesday, October 13, 2015 I hosted an Author Signing for my friend, Valanee Eriksen.
Valanee has a new book published. CHRISTMAS BELLS and HERO TAILS is 90 pages of delight.
Buddy the Rat fears for his life, meets and makes friends at Christmas. 
I decorated my house Christmas-y. I made and served Christmas sugar cookies with sprinkles. Buddy discovers those on page 46 of the book. I scattered "crystal" snowflakes on Valanee's signing table as crystal snowflakes are a part of the story.
I'm crossing my fingers I'll get a contract soon.
Here are my main characters of my six different manuscripts:

Tillie
Ruby
Billy
Troy
Goldie (a dog)
Carolina and Uncle Mortimer

 I won't give the book titles, though. Just because. 

Good Night!
