Me! Kissing the Earth!

by Jennifer on June 30, 2011

Today I had the honor and pleasure of being featured on the blog Kissing the Earth, run by Sharry Phelan Wright and my agency sister Tamara Ellis Smith.  A sense of place is so important to a book, and I think it’s wonderful that Sharry and Tam specifically highlight this on their blog.

If you would like to read my interview and check out their marvelous site, you can find it here:

A “Cyn”-sational Opportunity!

by Jennifer on June 13, 2011

I’m very excited to be co-presenting this Saturday, June 18, alongside my good friend and one of my favorite authors, Miss Cynthia Leitich Smith!  Our talk will take place at 2 pm at the Bee Cave Library (4000 Galleria Parkway, 78738).

Our program is for YA readers of all ages and is called “From Classics to Contemporary” – a discussion of how classic literature inspired our modern teen novels.  There will be something for everyone.  Readings … A little gore … A little romance … Plus, free pizza!

Dracula is not dead.  Jane Austen is still making people swoon.  And some themes are eternal.

For more information on the Bee Cave event, click here.

Also, if you are a librarian, educator, or festival/conference organizer and would like more information on our two-for-one presentation, please contact Dayton Bookings.

We hope to see you there!
