Where I'll Be

Hattie and I are just back from our whirlwind San Francisco tour. Thank you to The Storyteller, Towne Center Books, Books Inc., Book Passage and Rakestraw Books for arranging terrific school visits and in-store events. A HUGE thank you to librarian extraordinaire, Mary Ann Scheuer, who hosted me at the most amazing book lovers' event at her home. Mmwah, Mary Ann!

Here's what's up locally:

Friday night, February 22, 6:30 pm, I'll be at 3rd Place Books in Lake Forest Park, Washington for cookies and conversation, with prizes for the best chapeaux! (I'll be in vintage dress, sewn with care by the amazing Carla Keats.)

Tuesday, February 26, 7:00 pm, I'll be at Village Books, in Bellingham, Washington, for more conversation (and possibly cookies!) and, again, prizes for the best chapeaux.

Friday, March 1, 7:00 pm, I'll be at Secret Garden Books, in Seattle, Washington for. . .well, you know the drill.

Don't live in the Puget Sound area? I'll be speaking with good buddy, Mary Nethery, at the Missouri Association of School Librarians, April 14 and 15, before jetting to San Antonio to present at the International Reading Association Conference.

I'll also be at Book Expo America -- not sure the exact dates, but that's late May.

If you can't make any events, don't fret. Email me and I'll tell you how you can get your very own Hattie Inez Brooks' Press Pass, produced on a vintage hand letterpress machine!
