If I don’t get to post much today, it’s because I’ll be hanging out in downtown Jefferson, Texas, where the Pulpwood Queens book clubs are having their annual writer’s festival. I’ll be doing a workshop this afternoon about blogging for writers, but I’ll be sitting in on as many other talks as I can, and then there’s all the panel discussions on Saturday, followed by the evening gala.
After spending yesterday flying to Dallas and then revisiting Highway 20, I got into town just in time for the authors’ dinner, where Kathy Patrick, the founding Queen herself, was taking a picture of Lynette Rohrer Shirk, the author of Wild Women Throw a Party: 110 Original Recipes and Amazing Menus for Birthday Bashes, Power Showers, Poker Soirees, and Celebrations Galore, with fellow guest Paulina Porizkova while Kim Sunee, whose memoir Trail of Crumbs just came out, looks on. I can’t wait for Will Clarke to show up; he’s already promised to liveblog the whole weekend. I’m not going to go that far, I’m afraid, but I’ll have a lot to say Monday…
