A couple of class announcements before we move on to today's post. First, our first contest is over and the winner is (cue drumroll) Katie D! She won some great prizes-- The Opposite of Invisable by Liz Gallagher, The Gollywhopper Games by Jody Feldman and I heart you, You haunt me by Lisa Schroeder. Enjoy your prizes, Katie D!
Next up, class member Teri Brown, got her very first review for her young adult book, Read My Lips. You can check it out here. She also got a mention at yPulse.
To continue poetry week, we have a poetic offering from Barrie Summy's 12 year old son, affectionately referred to as Child #3.
Poetry Is
Poetry is the reminder to thank someone after a bad day,
The blue of a dried out ocean,
Seeing with no eyes beads on a bracelet.
Poetry is “big” written small,
Or “small” written big,
A book with no words.
Poetry is the emotion of a page,
Style in word form,
All the emotions packed onto one page.
We couldn’t have said it any better child #3!

Actually, the plane wasn't to Stockholm. It was, rather counter-intuitively, to Copenhagen. Where we were driven over an enormous bridge to Sweden, and were deposited in Lund.
Which is an astonishingly pretty University town, filled with green spaces and pretty buildings. There's a John Bauer exhition in the Museum I'm going to try to get to if I get any time tomorrow that isn't interviews or signings...
(Here's a Bauer painting. I was going to put up a Kittelson picture as well, because Norwegians know what trolls look like too, but I couldn't see any of the ones I wanted in a quick scan of the web and I'm standing in a hotel lobby typing...)
The Stardust signing and Q&A tonight is sold out, but the signing tomorrow at the Lund Town Hall at 2:30 is open to anyone, and I suspect that the mysterious event in the crypt of the Cathedral at 4:30 is likewise....

For those of you who are wondering (as I was) how and what my dog is doing, the Birdchick has posted some information about herself, the bees, giant puffball mushrooms, and my dog (who can be seen both investigating puffballs and being sympathetic as Sharon gets her First Bee Sting over at)

which are the sort of things that I'd be posting if I wasn't on tour. Sigh.
