| Signing books at the Huntington Beach Library |
On January 28th, I participated in the annual Author Festival in Huntington Beach, California along with twenty-one other authors. As always, it was a stimulating and exciting day. In the morning we visited schools in the community and then convened at the public library for a gala afternoon reception.

| Welcome banner at College View School |
My school this year was College View, where I had three groups of very enthusiastic children. The day was organized superbly by school librarian Leslie Selder who made sure that I had everything I needed. A wonderful banner greeted me at the entrance to the school. During our lunch break we had a relaxing and a delicious meal at a local café Deli-licious with principal Cathy Smith.

| Arriving for the Author Festival Reception |
The afternoon reception was a chance to chat with other participating authors and see their new books and to renew acquaintances from previous visits. A bevy of volunteers wearing red shirts made sure that everyone was comfortable. The afternoon featured the children who had written winning essays for the writing contest. It was a treat to see the children in their dress-up clothes and looking so proud of their accomplishments. There were many proud teachers, parents and grandparents as well!
I thank the Author Festival committee, the sponsors, and many volunteers for making this special day possible.
