I was quite excited and brought my oldest son with me. It was great to see how many young readers turned up on a cold Monday night to hear them speak. The authors all spent a great deal of time speaking with everyone individually. Many authographs were given. It was a great night. I loved seeing how excited the students were.
There will be a sequel to Close to the Heel published October 1st, 2014.
