Detour Ahead was published in spring, but the story mostly takes place in my favorite season — fall! So I waited all year to finally take this photo of our book on a bed of autumn leaves.

You know that line from the film You’ve Got Mail? — “Don’t you love New York in the fall? It makes me wanna buy school supplies. I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils if I knew your name and address.” — Well, replace “New York” with “D.C.” and that’s my message to you :)
