Library Festival Done Right

The people of Harlingen, Texas know how to support a library book festival! This pre-launch discussion of Timeshifters, Mark of the Centipede was awesome! The organizers were generous, hard-working, book-loving people who made me feel perfectly welcome and at home. Speaking to a crowd of new people is always open to unknowns, and I decided at the last minute to change topics because we had more adults than teens. The audience was attentive, kind, and ready to discuss and ask questions. I count them all as new friends! You can spot some of them wearing Timeshifters tattoos and paracord survival bracelets.

That unscheduled fun I was planning to schedule? It found me in the form of South Padre Island. Salty air, sandy toes, and deep lazy breathing that went all the way through my soul. With a belly full of grilled shrimp, I’m wishing I had more time to spend in this beautiful part of Texas. If you have a chance to visit, stop by the library and give them your support. This is a community focused on education and literature. Bravo and Thank you, Harlingen!
