I can't believe I didn't think to post this earlier! I'm very excited about this upcoming weekend because Virginia Kroll, the author of Selvakumar Knew Better and many, many other titles, is coming out to California to be a keynote speaker at the Santa Clara County Reading Council's annual Reading Conference at Asilomar. I'm picking her up at the airport tomorrow, and we are going to the Monterey area for the weekend.

We'll have a table there selling our books on Saturday, so if you're going, stop by and say hello.
