I had a wonderful time at the Morristown Festival Books as a presenting author of KidFest! Big thanks for the invitation and to the staff and volunteers who made it possible for book-lovers and readers to gather with authors and illustrators. Here are some of my highlights:

The evening before the book festival, I was invited to the Keynote event featuring John Kerry and Ann Curry. Big thanks to Carol Fitzgerald and her husband for the ride, and it was great to also meet mystery author Kent Krueger.
The next morning, I was escorted around the morning’s events by fabulous volunteer, Tricia. After a meet and greet with a handful of sweet young readers and their parents, I gave a 25-minute presentation to a group of enthusiastic readers. They had some great questions! After I signed books, I enjoyed walking around the festival, meeting up with friends old and new. What a great day!
