Hiya, friends! I am preparing for a whirlwind two days in Minneapolis this weekend, where I will be rubbing shoulders with some of the finest teachers and librarians in the nation, and trying to hold my own with some of the best authors ever. Which authors?

That would be Kate Messner, Anne Ursu, Tracey Baptiste, Linda Urban, Laura Ruby, and Christina Diaz Gonzalez. Oh, and our panel will be moderated by Colby Sharp.

I’m super duper nervous, actually.

If you’d like to come witness the stammering, blushing, and silliness that will be me in the presence of so much awesomeness, join me! I’ll post the schedule below. Oh, and if you show up for my signings, you’ll get either a deep discount OR a free book! Hope I see you there.
