If you don’t mind me asking, what does your wife do for work Dave?
She does direct sales and educational consulting for a publisher of children's books. And she's AWESOME at it.
Today for example, I helped her set up a book fair at a local private school that will be running all week. She has a LOT of book fairs at different schools scheduled throughout the school year. Think like Scholastic book fairs, but the books are significantly higher quality and more educational. Also, the incentives and benefits that the schools get back are a lot more worthwhile. (Though I am obviously biased in my opinion.)
She also sells books directly to librarians at public libraries, organizes author visits and live presentations in the community, and sometimes sells directly to the public at local markets and holiday bazaars.
Oh, and sometimes she'll help schools and libraries raise extra money with "Cards for a Cause" fundraisers.
This is why I imagine her like a Hogwarts librarian, dispensing magic and knowledge to kids wherever she goes :)
