I miss Texas so much, even the cattle are looking good.

Silly me, I thought my work on What Can’t Wait was DONE when I finished it. Little did I know that the work of getting the word out was just beginning. Thinking about publicity has actually been a blessing in disguise because it’s given me opportunities to reconnect with teachers, students, and librarians–some of my favorite people! I especially love getting to be back in touch with students in classroom/school settings.

Work and fun get folded in together–Liam and I’ll be in Texas for a week promoting the book and hanging out with family.

East Texas folks, you can find me at the Longview Books-A-Million from 10-2 on Saturday, March 5. BTW, it’s my birthday, so you can be extra nice to your favorite author!

March 7-11, I’ll be doing school visits in Houston. Can’t wait to go “home” to Chavez, and visit with kids at Bellaire, LECJ, YES! College Prep, and other campuses.

On March 12, find me at the Pasadena Barnes and Noble at 2 p.m.!

I’m only in Texas for a week, but you can bring me to your school, library, or book club via Skype any time. If you’re interested in a virtual visit, contact me for details.
