During the 2017-18 school year (which, I’m defining as ending on June 30th – therfore, beginning today, on July 1st), a lot of fun stuff happened.
Three books I wrote were released:
I had readings, signings, & events at:
- 11 Public Libraries
- 11 Conferences & Festivals
- 16 Book Stores
I visited 108 schools
- 8 in-person visits
- 99 virtual visits
- one of the visits was a double-visit – two school in the same districut skyped in at the same time
