I've been meaning to post these pictures for a while, but somehow time got away from me. In March, I went to lovely Indianapolis for Rosie Con, which was the first time I had been to Indianapolis since I was a child. I was invited because ALL WE HAVE LEFT was nominated for the Eliot Rosewater Award, chosen by Indiana High School students. It was a lovely trip, and I met so many great people!
On Friday, I went to Chapel Hill Middle School and gave several presentations, as well as eating lunch with the book club. Brenda Krebs, the media specialist, was so welcoming and thorough in her preparations. Everything went off without a hitch!
My mom, who came with me from Florida to keep me company, really hit it off with Sheri, the principal of Chapel Hill.
So, if you're in Indianapolis, what better thing to do after an author dinner but to go racing? What a blast. These babies weren't your run-of-the-mill go-carts. They were fast!
Do I look cold? That's because it was 87 degrees when I left Florida and in Indianapolis it was...not.
I really had an amazing time, and am so thankful for the Rosie Con Committee for inviting me!
