Anastasia Suen is one of nine fabulous writers who will be helping me celebrate nonfiction this June at the American Library Association conference in New Orleans. You can find a whole lot of information about our Nonfiction Book Blast panel and presentation at our

Hope to see you in New Orleans!
This week on the Nonfiction Book Blast blog, Darcy Pattison talks about her transition from writing fiction to writing nonfiction. Read what she has to say about researching for the two genres
here.
And don't miss the kickin' book trailer she made to show of the many authors and books (including me and THE HIVE DETECTIVES) that will be featured at the Nonfiction Bookblast panel presentation this June at the American Library Association annual conference in New Orleans:
I'm looking forward to meeting you in person, Darcy!
