IRA San Antonio 2013 – Finally!

Oh yes! IRA 2013 was back in April. And I am guilty of blog neglect. While I plan to post with some textual substance soon, I did want to share photos of one of the most delightful, “working” weekends I’ve ever had.

With fellow authors and agency mates Liz Garton Scanlon and Kari Anne Holt.

Spotted on my walk to the Convention Center.

In the bagel shop across the street – A Little Free Library!

With the lovely and talented Salina Yoon at the Bloomsbury booth.

Did I mention that Salina is super-funny too?

Salina and me with the Bloomsbury team. Left to right: Caroline Abbey, Beth Eller, Linette Kim.

Signing at the Bloomsbury Booth – you can see little me in the back to the right of the ALL THROUGH MY TOWN poster.

In addition to the signing, I met up with many friends, did a podcast and video interview, had a wonderful dinner with the Bloomsbury team, teachers, booksellers and librarians, did a panel presentation with Salina, Michael Hall, and Kirby Larsen and signed at Anderson’s Bookstore.

Everyone was so gracious, enthusiastic and kind. The world of literacy is in GREAT hands.

You’d think that packing SOOOO much into 3 days would be exhausting. But noooo – it was inspiring – inspiring me to write more books … which is what I’ve been doing the last month and a half.

Happy June!
