Well, hello friends! I am full of excitement because the National Book Festival is just around the corner. This means that the extremely lovely folks from the Texas Center for the Book will be giving out copies of my book, Wish Girl, in the States’ Pavilion, along with packets of Texas wildflower seeds.

To kick off a year of fun Texas reading and writing, the Center made this video of me! They are responsible for it looking and sounding incredibly professional. I am responsible for the weird, squeaky voice and the chicken-wing hair.

Watch it, and then enter the giveaway for a signed copy of Wish Girl! And feel free to comment on the voice, the hair, or how much you love Texas and/or Texas writers and readers!
