Yesterday was the first author visit of the year, and it was right down the street. I had a lot of fun at St. Thomas The Apostle School, and the kids made some terrific artwork. There were pirates everywhere. (Also, pictures of the Pope. It was a very interesting juxtaposition.)

Turns out, in over fifty years this was their first ever author visit. Right out of the gate and they did an awesome job. Well done, St. Thomas! Well done, Lori! The year is off to a great start thanks to you.
