This extra post is to announce an appearance in hopes that some of you reading this are in Connecticut or thereabouts. I will be speaking and signing at on Monday, March 15th at 5:30 in the Johnson Room of the library at Eastern Connecticut State University, 83 Windham Street, Willimantic, CT 06226. My talk is free and open to the public, and, as a teaser, I’m going to reveal a little-known secret about each of my books! I would LOVE to see you there! If you come, please be sure to introduce yourself.

Aw, I'm half of the US away. 🙁
I would love to meet you some day.
Erin Edwards says:
I was born in Connecticut but now I'm in Texas. A bit of a commute from Texas, 🙂 otherwise I would love to come. Enjoyed your talk at the Texas book festival a couple of years ago.
I hope you get a big crowd. Have fun!
Omega says:
If you ever make it to Colorado I will be there. It's a bummer you're all the way in Connecticut.
Rachel Danielle says:
I agree, come to Colorado!
Chantal says:
That would be cool! But I'm WAY far away in Hawaii. Oh well. 🙁
AbiF says:
Yes! Colorado is calling you! Hope to see you sometime ;).
Rinkly Rimes says:
I'm sure you'd be welcome in schools in Australia! But you'd have t pay your own fare!
Mya says:
Aww, same here, on the other side of the world in Australia. Maybe you could post those secrets here!=)
wodedrawling says:
Aww–can't make it…Would you be able to post the little-known secrets up on your blog, maybe one at a time, for those of us that can't make it?
Amelia Dogwood says:
Sadly I can go but I have at least heard you talk before when you where in Bellingham, WA. I do wish I could her you speak again though.
Have fun to all who are going!
Lizzy says:
I would REALLY LOVE to go, i have never heard you speak in person.
Sadly, Connecticut is way to far a drive. Can you keep us updated if you head further west?
Jaime says:
Of course you're speaking in CT on the Monday after I leave RI for MS. lolz. I'll be very sorry to miss your talk.
Amy Goodwin says:
And here I am half the world away in Malaysia…Here's a time I wish I were in the US..
F says:
NOO!!! I'm outside the US!! 🙁
There's no chance you'll be telling US that little known secret…is there? 🙁
JessieLeigh says:
I am interested in having my granddaughter from Illinois visit this summer and would love to have her attend one of your writer's workshops. Will you be conducting any in the Brewster area? And, if so, when? You are Katie's favorite author, and I know she would love to attend your workshop. Thank you for any information you can give me.
Sincerely,
Sandy Hovland

Since this is a special post anyway, I had a question I've been dying to ask: What books do you recommend? I mean this in the sense of writing books you've felt were helpful and fiction books you adore.
Thanks!

I'll be there! And I'm bringing some of your littlest fans!

Mom of 4 crazy kids–I'm so glad you're coming and bringing the kids!
Pambelina–I'm going to list some writing books in my next post. Excellent timing. I've been reading more poetry than fiction lately, so here are some poets I like. They're for adults, or at least high schoolers: Lisel Mueller (maybe my favorite), Ted Kooser, Billy Collins, Claudia Emerson, Molly Peacock, Kathleen Driskell, Jane Kenyon. Those are just a few. I love poetry.

I am able to come!! I can hardly believe my luck.
When my mom told me you were coming to Willimantic I nearly choked on my bagel!
I am very excited. Hope you draw a large crowd!
