A quick selfie outside the Lithgow Library, a gorgeous library in Augusta, Maine.
This summer was a busy one, with a string of appearances that kept me on my toes!
I wanted to share a few pictures from the one of my last summer appearances. This was a tween book club at the Lithgow Library in Augusta, Maine, which I visited early in August. The participants had read my book, and asked great questions—about some of my choices in the plot or with characters—and shared their opinions and analyses for about an hour. Then I read excerpts on demands, and shared a sneak peek of the first chapter of The Hunt for the Mad Wolf’s Daughter.
And then we ate.
Usually, there’s no food (except the Yummy Earth lollipops I usually give out) at my appearances, not a beautiful spread of desserts, anyhow. But Youth Services Librarian Kathleen Petersen was a host who, honestly, thought of everything. And here’s the spread that welcomed me and the tween readers: a Scottish dessert feast:
Talk about authors being treated like lairds! (Oh, and the desserts were delicious.)
Wow, this is impressive. And SO special 🙂 Way to go, Kathleen!
