Last week's highlight was the Montgomery County Book Festival in The Woodlands, Texas.

Thank you to Natasha, Tabatha, their fellow planners, volunteers, the author faculty and reader-participants for making the event such a success!

Please note that a handful of signed copies of Feral Nights are now available (on a sneak preview basis) at Murder By the Book in Houston.

Thanks also to fellow Austinite Cory Putnam Oakes for driving me to the fest!

Authors gather before the reception: Mari Mancusi, Bettina Restrepo, E. Kristin Anderson, Cory Putnam Oakes.
