Who among us doesn’t leap at the chance to visit Poughkeepsie?

Exactly.

Now there’s one more reason: I’ll be there along with more than 45 children’s book authors and illustrators, including Marc Brown, Tracey Baptiste, Nick Bruel, Lesa Cline-Ransom, Beth Ferry, Dan Gutman, and more.

When you arrive, please swing by my table and buy everything.

No, wait, I mean: say hello!

And if you wish, please ask about school visits. I visit elementary and middle schools, with age-appropriate paperback titles for each grade level. Don’t leave without my fancy brochure.

I’ve got a few new books since last year, including Blood Mountain and Jigsaw Jones: The Case of the Hat Burglar.
