That was then, this is now

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!
