A delightful writerly weekend

BOOKOLOGY, Children’s Literature Network, Nov. 3, 2012

With my buddy Kirstin Cronn-Mills (new novel: Beautiful Music for Ugly Children), Molly Beth Griffin (Silhouette of a Sparrow), and my dear friend Pamela Klinger-Horn, who supports writers and all good books! 

With Pamela and John Coy (Crackback, Top of the Order and many more). I got to sit at the same table with John and three librarians/teachers. We had a BLAST and tied winning the identify-the-author-by-“ten-things-you-don’t-know-about-me” game!

It’s Mary Tyler Moore! Back in St. Paul! (the hat is so high it’s out of the picture, maybe?)

Oh, no. I guess it’s author and my buddy Kirstin Cronn-Mills, on the street outside ADDENDUM book store, where she read Saturday afternoon. I loved the event. Not only did our friends Justin and Brian show up (below, listening attentively), but every single person in the store was “sucked in” and listening or asking questions by the time Kirstin was done!
