I had a blast at the Louisiana Book Festival this weekend and wanted to be sure that I could give back to the festival, so here's the deal. For every Kindle copy of my book sold through November 29th, $1 will be donated to the Louisiana Library Foundation. And remember: Carpe the Buffet!!

I'll be the featured speaker tomorrow at the 2011 Women's Conference in Baton Rouge.

The funny part of this? I don't have a voice right now. Throat is swollen and sore from allergies, so I've restructured this into an "audience participation" event.

And under the heading of "missing the point":

Thank you to the great folks at Alexandria Sr. High who allowed me to speak at their Honor Roll Breakfast this morning. It was such a kick and I met some great and smart kids. Guess I'll meet them again when I apply to them for a job someday!
