First of all, I am pleased to announce that I will be appearing at two more bookstores in the area this fall!<\/p>\n

Saturday, August 21, 2pm<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Desinations Booksellers<\/span><\/p>\n

604 East Spring Street *\u00a0New Albany, Indiana<\/span><\/p>\n

Saturday, September 11, 4pm<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Carmichael’s Bookstore<\/span><\/p>\n

2720\u00a0Frankfort Avenue *\u00a0Louisville, KY<\/span><\/p>\n

I must be straightforward and report that there will not be cake. \u00a0(I know! And you were told there’d be cake!) \u00a0However, there will be something pretty much as good: a chance to win a free classroom visit from an author! \u00a0(Well, this is good if you are a parent, teacher or librarian. \u00a0If you are a childless plumber not taking any extension classes anywhere, I imagine that this offer doesn’t appeal as much as cake. \u00a0But moving on…)<\/p>\n

It’s pretty simple: come to a Nice and Mean<\/em> event (I will read and dazzle you with my super-secret strategy for spritely Q&A), and if you are a parent, teacher or librarian, you can enter a drawing to win a\u00a0classroom visit from me. I’ll talk about the process of becoming a writer, discuss the skills that are crucial to being an artist (revision and attention to detail–sound familiar, teachers?), and answer questions. \u00a0(I can also read from the book, but often, the Q&A takes a while.)<\/p>\n

What if you’re thinking, Oh woe, I do not live near enough to attend, so I cannot enter the drawing! or I am occupied both of those days! \u00a0Fear not. \u00a0Next month or so, I will hold a drawing online for those interested in a Skype visit.<\/p>\n

Go, go, Nice and Mean<\/em>! \u00a0See ya real soon!<\/p>\n
