Wendy Corsi Staub

I am really excited. Today, I am attending a talk with Wendy Corsi Staub.

It's interesting how sometimes we stumble across things that help us on our journey. A while back, my favorite middle school librarian was pitching books to my 8^th graders. She does this often, and as she does this, I keep a list of potential reads for myself. One title that made my list was Lilydale Awakening by Wendy Corsi Staub. Recently, the librarian pitched the book again, and when no 8^th graders jumped, I took it out. I was interested in the book for a couple of reasons. It had a local setting and was paranormal. I wanted to see how a New York Times best selling author handled these two ideas that I also use in Relic. I really liked the book. Read the whole series.

While visiting friends in Virginia, I got an email from my favorite independent book store Monkey See, Monkey Do, that they were hosting a visit from Wendy Corsi Staub.

A sign? Maybe!

I'm hoping for some insight into the publishing world. Earlier this year, I set a personal goal to hear talks from as many authors as I could. So far, I've heard about ten, many though have been through broadcasts. I'm looking forward to hearing an author in person and perhaps hearing her answers to some of my burning questions.
