Book Love on the Road
My friend author Suzanne Morgan Williams and I distributed Society for Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) Sourcebooks full of information on authors and illustrators who do school and library visits at library conferences in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and Omaha, Nebraska. Response was GREAT.
After
we'd shown off the books of 22 of those authors and the exhibit hall
closed, we took the
books to the Eastside Boys and Girls Club learning center where participants had
mailed them. The Club staffers hadn’t opened the boxes on arrival, so our return trip
felt like Christmas.

Sunday, July 28, 2013 My chaps are packed. I'm ready to go.  This time tomorrow, Suzanne Morgan Williams, our nameless skunk mascot and I will be on the road again! After our writers-in-residence literacy celebration in May, we thought we'd have to wait longer for a return invitation to the super Nevada town of Hawthorne, but we are delighted to be returning for Mineral County Library's Summer Reading program. The theme for the summer is "Digging into the Past," so Suzy and I will tell stories and give tips from our own fiction, non-fiction, contemporary and historical research. Don't be surprised if those stories include bucking bulls and broncs! At 3:00 younger reader/writers will join us for "I See By Your Outfit" & fun research tips which include chaps and a fur-lined parka. Hmmm.... At 5:30, teens can learn how to give their school and personal writing texture. Together, we'll dig into Internet, Interview and "Getting Your Hands Dirty" research. We're excited to see some familiar faces again, and meet some new reader/writers. And I'd be fibbing if I didn't saw we are looking forward to the homemade Mexican food we've been promised, too! Since you can't all be there, here are some snaps from our last journey! Adios, Terri
 Suzy and I will be on the road again in September, but this time we'll be FAR FROM HOME in South Dakota!
