May Events: Kids' Blast and Author Fiesta!

This past week has been busy with two fun events. The first, Kids' Blast, was on May 17 at Riverside Park in Vero Beach. 

I was honored to read with children as part of The Vero Beach Learning Alliance presentation and in partnership with the Vero Beach Book Center for Indies First Storytime. We read from Gone Fishing and I gave a sneak peek reading from This Old Band!

On Thursday, May 22 I participated in the Author Fiesta! at Keene's Crossing Elementary School in Windermere with several other Florida authors. During my daytime presentation we talked about reading and writing and all of the 3rd graders and I read together from Gone Fishing. That evening we talked and read some more. Kim Britt, owner of Bookmark It helped us sell our books.

One of my favorite parts of being an author is reading with students!
