Please stop thanking me. I should be thanking you for the absolutely wonderful time I had at your event. It was a total blast to meet such enthusiastic young readers, and to be treated in a glamorous manner to which I hope to become accustomed. It was lovely to mix and mingle with other authors who are colleagues but not necessarily my peer group. I know lots of young-ish New Yorkers who write novels, but not many folks who live outside the city. And truly the kids were wonderful. I couldn't believe how eager they were to discuss writing and books. The librarians I met were also ever so charming and fun to chat with. I'd do it again in heartbeat. David Ozanich
