Warwick Book Festival 2011

This past weekend, I participated in the Warwick Children's Book Festival. It was an amazing event in Warwick, NY that was put on by the Albert Wisner Public Library. There were close to 50 other YA, MG and/or PB authors participating with me. The day was filled with fun, book signings, mingling with authors, and advocating literacy and reading. I was able to take some pictures before the event started, so I thought I'd share some of them on my blog!
