This Friday and Saturday, October 10th and 11th, I’ll be attending the Southern Festival of Books in Nashville, TN. Saturday, Varian Johnson, Heather Hepler, I will speak on a panel titled “Heartbreak and Hope: Novel Approaches to Teen Issues.” Afterwards, I’ll be signing galleys of Soul Enchilada. If you’re in town, come on by.

The SFB happens downtown (if you’ve only been to the Opryland Hotel, you’ve never been to Nashville). Nashville is at the top of my Favorite Cities Ever. I still considered myself a Tennessean, so this will be a homecoming, as well.
And it’s Fall! I get to see leaves turning! Yes!
