Musings about some of my favorite fantasy literature for young readers, comics old and new, the peculiar publishing industry, the future of books, kids today, and the writing process.
Alison Morris's Shelftalker blog at Publishers Weekly recounted several author events that the Wellesley Booksmith recently handled, with photos. Among them was the Belmont Children's Picture Book Festival, organized by Melissa Stewart.
And one of the photos from that event shows the back of my head while Timothy Basil Ering reads Necks Out for Adventure! Good thing I got that haircut.

Hm, front-row-sitter, I see. I confess that I'm a back-row-so-you-can-sneak-out-if-necessary -sitter.
Sneaking out discreetly was impossible since I was the event's master of ceremonies.
