This weekend I had the great good fortune to attend Portland’s annual celebration of the written word. My wife is a rockstar for letting me get away all weekend. Wordstock, a 2-day book festival, was held this past weekend in Portland, Oregon. I had the chance to attend and speak to many different authors and artists. This year I focused largely on middle-grade and young-adult novels (here’s my sneak peek), but I do have a few kids’ books and some for adults up my sleeve as well. Expect to see several more interviews and full book reviews in the next couple of weeks.
