In Seattle This Friday? Come Introduce Yourself!
I'm in Seattle this week. If you love Bible Design Blog and you're in the Seattle area, this Friday is the perfect time for a face-to-face meet! I'll be signing books at the LifeWay store in Tukwila, not far from the Sea-Tac airport, from 5:30 to 7:30 PM. Here's the details:
During my Kansas City signing awhile back, several Bible Design Blog readers dropped by for a chat. We had a great time talking about all things Bible-related, and I'd love to meet more of you in the Seattle area. If you're available, stop by and introduce yourself!
If you're not in Seattle, though, there's good news for you, too. I'll be heading home next week, which means I'll finally have a chance to upload some belated reviews to the site. In the meantime, thanks for all your support of Bible Design Blog!
