Andria Visit

Andria had a class to teach followed by a reading of her book, The Longest Night, at La Sierra University, in Riverside.  Fortunately for us, we ere able to pick her up at the airport the day before, and have a great time visiting.  Yesterday, we drove with her to Riverside, and attended her class and reading.  We were also invited to a little potluck dinner with the class.  Andria's connection to this university was her friend and fellow grad student Sari, her husband Brian, and their little daughter.

Going into the humanities building we noticed a familiar face on numerous fliers.

 Andria posing with the students that she taught.  That's Sari, their instructor, on the left.  The students, I must say, asked great questions, and all had read her book.

 For her reading to the school at large, she packed a small auditorium.  Signing books at the end of the evening.

 It was a quick two days, but so fun to share the time and hear her stories.
