-Don’t forget, former editor and novelist Deborah Halverson will be on next week, so call in your questions to 888-522-1929! -I talk about a new podcast contest.
And really, the two that need the biggest kudos are Kathleen Blasi and Elizabeth Falk for organizing and running a flawless event! Thank you Kathleen and Sibby!
I start the podcast in the restaurant the night before the festival. There are cut off conversations, as there always are at a big dinner party! The first person I’m speaking to in the restaurant in Elizabeth Bluemle, talking about her book, How Do You Wokka- Wokka and then, after I scold Jane Yolen for toasting with water, Elizabeth continues talking about her store. It’s a very scattered episode, but kind of fun, I hope, because you get the fly-on-the-wall effect.
Then I move into the car interviews…you’ll hear me doing a bad job of being co-pilot to Dan Mahoney as I try to interview him while he’s driving! He’s very talented.
Then after the next dinner party, I drive back to the hotel with David Soman, the illustrator of Ladybug Girl. He hysterically funny and we laugh a lot and yes, he’s also talented at driving and being interviewed at the same time.
I did promise the Zen Leaf blog link, so if you want to read about the blogger who was misquoted in the NY Times, click here.
Mikki Knudsen, who wrote The Dragon of Trelian and I…and no, we are not sisters!
Here is the awesome and fabulous list of authors and illustrators who were there:

Thanks for asking, and sorry it took so long for me to answer this – I didn't see this comment, as this post was uploaded two months ago.
Talk to you soon!
