Both.

Thought I could write and run a bookstore at the same time. Funny stuff. It's hard enough to do either of those jobs, let alone both at the same time. Also, I've had the store almost two years now and my two sons do not want to spend this summer in a bookstore.

Terry's a good friend. She'll be at Jeff Parker's signing tonight if you plan on dropping in. I hope it's not telling tales out of school, but Terry's been working on a crime fiction novel of her own and I'm betting it's going to be pretty good.
