I don't want to ruin it, but one of the super special surprise guests is...Santa Claus. Yes, Santa Claus. He's bringing presents for everyone. *Disclaimer: it's NOT Santa Claus and the only present you'll get is a signature, a funny show, and a warm sense of satisfaction. So come!
3. Writing for Charity is happening this week, and a number of amazing authors will be there. I will also be there. Here's the description:


In 2008, author Shannon Hale held a professional writing conference at the Salt Lake City Library in hopes of raising money for those in need. She invited other local authors to come and lend their support. The event was a success, and WRITING FOR CHARITY was born!

On March 17th, 2012, the ROCK CANYON writers of Utah and the CHILDREN'S LITERATURE ASSOCIATION OF UTAH are hosting the fourth annual WRITING FOR CHARITY event at the Historic Provo Library. Yes, it's on St. Patrick's Day, and we hope you'll consider yourself lucky to attend!
This event includes workshops, critique sessions from published authors, and lunch. It's a great event for a great cause. I hope to see you there!
