May 3, Houston: The big one -- the Inprint reading -- occurs at the Alley Theatre on Monday, May 3. Do not miss it or you'll be sorry. I'm not kidding -- I'm going to say the craziest, most intellectual yet hilarious stuff I can think of, and I'll be sharing the stage with the ultra sexy Oscar Casares, too.
June 24, Houston: I'm one of the peeps scheduled to read at Poison Pen, at Houston's famous Poison Girl bar. Besides me, everyone there will be ultra, *super* sexy. Come see me and drink!
June 26, Washington, DC: I'll be reading at the American Library Association conference. Come on down.
My other blog: Go read my the Houston Chronicle parenting blog (or my ChronMomBlog, as I like to call it) and make sure my kids won't resent me more than other kids resent their own parents.
Buy my new novel, Lone Star Legend. Already did? Well, buy a few more for your friends, then. :)

surprise in the mailI stopped by my mailbox after work and pulled out a package that'd been wedged in among the bills, coupons, and previous homeowner's American Girl doll catalogs.
My first kids' book! Growing Up with Tamales. It's way, way more beautiful than I was expecting, thanks mainly to April Ward, who illustrated it. Seriously, I almost cried when I saw it. Then, I almost cried again when my ten-year-old son read it aloud to me.
Go to my Flickr to see more of the book. Or, better yet, go to Amazon to pre-order it.

Wow! That is SO cool. Clearly, you're far more motivated than I am. My book idea is still just a book idea!# posted by

My jaw fell, hold on, let me pick it up. I have been looking forward to your book coming out. It feels like a relative has succeeded! I know that our school librarian will purchase it for our librarian.

Thanks, you guys!
And yes, I love April Ward's illustrations. She rocks. Look her up on MySpace... she went to Pratt, which used to be my fantasy school, back in the day.
