It's Noah Webster's birthday today! Here's the trailer for NOAH WEBSTER & HIS WORDS, if you haven't seen it already (or even if you have). http://youtu.be/o8NegSLNxlk

Also, if you're in the northern California Sacramento/Roseville/Auburn/etc. area (I know it's a long way from many of you, sorry), please join me on Sat., Oct. 27, for my launch party for NOAH. It'll be in Lincoln, Sun City, at the Kilaga Springs Lodge, between 11-3. Come for books and cookies and conversation and more. Jeri
