Festival Season
It seems that book festival season will soon be upon us. Well I have personally never been to an official "book festival." (Do those traveling book sale roadshows that used to set up in my elementary school cafeteria count? Didn't think so.)
But this fall I'm going to be on the programs of three of them, and I thought I'd post the details here in case any of you will be in the area and would like to check them out.
The Kansas Book Festival will be taking place on Sept. 29-30 in Wichita. I'll be signing books on Saturday at noon.
I'll also be at The Southern Festival of Books on October 13-15. I'm going to be on a panel with some of my favorite authors (E. Lockhart and John Green, among them) and signing books.
This is a big festival--something like 200 authors attend--so I'm pretty interested to see what it's like, not to mention how long it takes me to become so intimidated that I hide in my hotel room with a room service menu because no one there is possibly going to want to talk to me.
I've also been invited to a festival in Tulsa, but I don't know the details yet. When they come in, I'll blog about it.
I think most states have festivals of this kind, so do some googling--there may be one near you and it might be a great way to spend an autumn day.
Have a great weekend, everyone.
Read lots.
Laugh lots.
And wish me luck in Sequelville.

Good luck in sequelville :).
I live in South Louisiana so I have been to a lot of festivals: Festival International, Crawfish Festival, Jazz Festival, Mardi Gras, excreta; but I have never been to a book festival. I think it is time I go to one considering how much I love books, so I am taking your advice and doing some googling. Good luck in sequelville!

Good luck! Break a leg - er, pencil.
Good luck! I hope you can come to Canada some day.
Have fun at the Book Festivals! I've got to tell you that I ordered Love You, Kill You for my daughter. Then found your website and upon reading your blogs and such I just had to go ahead and order Cheating at Solitaire for myself. I can't wait for the books to arrive! Wish you were coming to SoCal!
