Saturday was the Albany Academy Children's Book Festival. This kind of day is a bit draining for homebody me. But it is also exhilarating: books, children, book lovers, and author friends, both new and old. (Took only this one picture of Barbara Lehman and Diane deGroat.)
It was good to sit between Kyra Teis and Patrice Kindl. It was good to decompress afterwards with many other authors, and have dinner with Jeff Mack. It was good to share the pre-festival dinner with Yona Zeldis McDonough, Anita Silvey, Herman and Mary Jane Auch and more. It is good to be back at work.
