ArmadilloCon is almost here! I can’t believe it — it’s come up fast. First and most important, You ask: “Patrice! When are you doing your reading?!”
Why, that will be at 9 pm on Saturday night. So come to the reading for some pre-party floor fun and we’ll kick off the Saturday night revelry in style. I’ll have snacks and beverages and a selection from the super-secret new project.
The next thing you ask: “Patrice, what are you second-most excited about?”
Why, that will be the interview with Tamora Pierce, special guest. Bring your tattered copies from the Scholastic book fairs that you bought with your babysitting money, clutched to your chest, and let’s all fangirl for a while. It’s good for the soul.
