This picture was taken several years ago, when I was on assignment for People magazine. In honor of this week's news that a second novel is on its way from Harper Lee, I present to you this picture of me, clutching Ms. Lee's hand, while a burly guard to my right ponders whether or not I'm a security risk. (I assured him I wasn't dangerous. Just excited to meet my literary hero. And guess what? She was even better in person than I had imagined.)
