Thanks so much to Marianne Dyson - a fellow author/engineer - for her review of TAKING OFF on the National Space Society website! Marianne was one of the first ten women flight controllers at NASA and is now an author. Her first book, SPACE STATION SCIENCE, won the Golden Kite award for nonfiction.
On Saturday, July 16th, I'll be signing at the Barnes and Noble Arboretum in Austin, Texas. Here's a photograph my friend and fellow writer E.K. Anderson took of the display:
The Writers' League of Texas is holding its annual conference this weekend at the Hyatt Regency Austin. Three days of agent panels and workshops are offered, and Jane Friedman, the former publisher and editorial director of Writer's Digest, is giving the keynote at the Saturday luncheon.
Along with agents Victoria Marini and Amy Burkhardt, and moderator Amy Rose Capetta, I'll be discussing Being a Kid Again: Writing Believable Fiction for Younger Audiences on Saturday from 3:30-4:30.
