Last weekend was a whirlwind of activity at the National Council of Teachers of English conference. In addition to doing a book signing for Queen of Physics at the Union Square booth, I also presented at a panel on writing poetic nonfiction. For fun (as much fun as an introvert can have anyway), I attended a Candlewick Press author reception, met up with author/illustrator friends, online critique partners, and some editors, and ate some tasty seafood! Since I'm still digesting my Thanksgiving meal, and need to go make some sourdough crackers, I will keep this short and not show you the desserts I made for yesterday until next week.
I hope you had a lovely and low-stress holiday!

Last weekend, I was at the annual Books By the Banks festival in Cincinnati where I signed books and also appeared in a panel called Scientifically Speaking: Science Nonfiction along with Carmella Van Vleet and Jillian Scudder, moderated by Mary Kay Carson.  I also got to see a bunch of author friends. From the Kidlit For Growing Minds group, there's Katie Mazeika, Debra Shumaker, and Keila Dawson. In the photo on the right is me and Robin Newman.
The left-hand photo is of me and Laura Gehl. Annnd, I got to meet THE John Scalzi (you sci-fi folks will know why I'm geeking out).
This weekend, I am in Boston for the National Council of Teachers of English conference. I'll be at the following panel (see below) as well as signing copies of Queen of Physics at the Union Square booth (#704) today (Friday, Nov. 22) at 10:30 a.m. So if you're there, stop on by!  The lovely and talented Lydia Lukidis featured an interview of me about my newest book, Clouds in Space, on her blog this week. Be sure to check it out as there is a giveaway! And if you're near Cincinnati, OH, tomorrow (Saturday, November 16), do drop on by the Cincy Main Library for this spectacular annual Books By the Banks Festival. I'll be there signing and am also a panelist for a talk called Scientifically Speaking: Science Nonfiction.  Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to mourn the death of a country and its morals. Don't mind the ground shaking; it's just the bodies of all the World War II veterans rolling over in their graves.
On the very slim chance that anyone reading this lives near Bloomington, Indiana, I want to invite you to local authors fair tomorrow (Saturday, Nov. 2nd) that will be fun for all ages.  Notable authors like graphic novelist Nate Powell and best-selling author-illustrators Rob Harrell and Keiko Kasza will be there! I will, too, but as a minor star in among bright constellations. I'll be signing my latest book, Clouds in Space.
There will be free cake and cookies, too! That's what I'm really there for. ;) Hope to see some of you there. |
