Finding smiles in unexpected places lately. Some are on faces. Others are on tables. And at least one happened this evening when I found out something really interesting about my character Pippa.

I also discovered I like books that feature art or artists–could be my connection to a certain handsome London-based artist. So when I found out that Pippa was her artist grandmother’s muse and model for the impudent child in her children’s picture books, well…I smiled.
