I met Ann Pachett at a book reading in Danville, California a few years ago. Several writer friends and I converged at Rakestraw Books for a boxed lunch and listened to Pachett. She is one of my top 5 authors and her entertaining talk made me admire her even more.
I waited last in line to have her sign a bag full of her books that I had read, plus her new one I purchased that day, This is the Story of a Happy Marriage. I asked if I could have a photo with her, she said yes, and added that I was the first one that week of her tour to request it. I’ve treasured the photo but filed it in a ‘special place’ which I can’t find right now.
Here is an interesting article about her, her bookstore in Tennessee, and her upcoming tour for Commonwealth. Click here.
