I talk about and walk through the old neighborhood where The Girl Who Fell From the Sky is set.
Book Club Greetings
I've had fun meeting with book clubs via Skype. If you would like me to join your book club for a discussion, send me an email.  If I can work it out schedule-wise, I'd love to talk with you.
New Adventures & New Words
Greetings! 

    I hope you're enjoying some sweet summer days.  I've settled into a wonderful routine off the road at last: reading, working on the new book and of course, making sure to have a bit of summer fun.

Coming Full Circle 

Book Expo 2012 Collage

      The summer started off great as I felt like I came full circle when I shared the stage at Book Expo with Bellwether winners Hillary Jordan, newly announced winner Susan Nussbaum, and the wonderful, magical woman writer who created the prize: Barbara Kingsolver.  

Salute to Excellence Award
    
     NABJ AwardI got a happy surprise last week when I learned that I had won (along with a team of four other writers) a Salute to Excellence Award from the National Association of Black Journalists for Magazine Commentary/Essay.  If you'd like to read the essay I wrote for Ebony Magazine about growing up mixed, you can find it here.

P.S. I had the most amazing experience doing the big talk for Everybody Reads back in March with my surprise special guest Thomas Lauderdale of Pink Martini.  I'll post video soon.  But you can check out the photos from the experience here.
