That Time I Forgot to Blog About My Big News

Hi, friends! I was going through my blog today, cleaning up pages, adding things – awards! audio clips! exclamation points!!! – and I realized I totally forgot to share some really, really big news here.

A couple of posts ago, I shared a video from the Texas Center for the Book about the Letters About Literature program, a contest for kids who write letters to their favorite authors.

I hope you read that post!

What I neglected to mention was that the Texas Center for the Book also selected Wish Girl to represent the state of Texas at the National Book Festival.


Yes. My book will be the “Great Read for Texas” in Washington, D.C this fall, at the festival put on by the Library of Congress. I was so overwhelmed when I got the call, I cried. I can’t think of a more significant way to share my “love letter to Texas” with the whole country.

So, yes. I shared that news on Facebook and Twitter, but forgot to record it for posterity here!

And now, before I forget again (did I tell you I’m writing a new book? I forget a LOT when I’m drafting), I’d also like to share an event where you can find me and eleven other amazing Texas authors on October 1, in Lockhart, Texas. I hope you can come!
