What an amazing group of book loving people. Let me share some of them with you…
Setting up–the calm before the book storm. <3

Signing TOUCHING THE SURFACE for some very special fans.
Tiffany Schmidt and her amazing books were a teen magnet all day long.
K.M. Walton and Jennifer Castle hanging out with one of the many fabulous volunteers.
Jodi Moore and Dragon giving a tutorial on how to make your very own puppet.
I had the pleasure of sitting next to the extremely talented Hudson Talbott.
And my fellow Apocalypsie –Tiffany Schmidt
Made a brand new friend, Bruce Hopkins. Feels like I’ve known him for years.
Jodi Moore, Dragon and I got to have an early celebration with SCBWI Crystal Kite winner Kit Grindstaff. Congratulations on her win for her debut novel THE FLAME IN THE MIST.
SQUEE!!!!! MY CRITIQUE GROUP GOT TO HANG OUT WITH THE INDOMITABLE ELLEN HOPKINS ALL DAY LONG!!!! (ALL CAPS INTENTIONAL) And don’t forget the bonus SQUEE!!!! Megan, Jodi and I got to hang out all weekend together. We hadn’t seen each other in A YEAR!!! Seeing them was the BEST! <3
