Oh wow. I received my copy of Heirloom Beans this afternoon. I'd like to tell you the skies opened and the angels sang but it was instead a nice, intense, quiet moment with the feeling that I had pulled something major off and saw it to completion.

Of course I know have 10 other books I want to do but for now I'll just thank Vanessa Barrington, my co-author, my agent Katherine Cowles, photographer Sara Remington and my friend Carrie Brown, who styled the photos.
