Texas Book Festival 2012 Youth Literature Programming


The official schedule for this year's Texas Book Festival has been released!

I will be presenting CHRONAL ENGINE on the WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN panel:
THE WORLD TURNED UPSIDE DOWN
with Katherine Catmull, Lisa McMann, Greg Leitich Smith, and Catherynne M. Valente
Date: Sunday, October 28, 2012
Time: 1:00 - 2:00
Location: Capitol Extension Room E2.014

Whether it's "Down," the Cretaceous Period, the stark world of Quill and the magical haven of Artimé, or "Fairyland," these authors take young readers out of the everyday world into realms where nothing is impossible. Chasing the shadows that have gone missing, dodging dinosaurs and kidnappers, and vanquishing an evil Puppeteer Queen is only the beginning of the wonderfully weird.
The signing follows immediately in the Children's Signing Tent.

Here's a tentative listing of the children's and teens panels for the 2012 Texas Book Festival.  Note that times and locations are subject to change, and that you should check the official schedule.  Note, too, that I haven't listed the appearances in the Children's Story tent, which is ongoing throughout both days of the festival.
