The Alphabet Garden Bookstore hosted a wonderful book party for Come Fall this last Saturday.
We had crafts, lemonade, and cookies baked by bookstore owner Karlene Rearick! I read, answered a few questions and signed a whole lot of books. We gave out prizes to the participants of The Alphabet Garden’s summer reading program. I met fans and friends, and altogether had a great time.
Thank you Alphabet Garden, and all those who made the day so much fun.

Just a reminder that I will be having a book party for Come Fall this Saturday August 28 from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Alphabet Garden Bookstore in Cheshire, Connecticut. It’s in conjunction with the bookstore’s summer reading program.
I’ll blather for a minute, read a chapter from the book, and sign copies. There’ll be crafts and snacks, too. It’s free and open to all.
Hope to see you there!

Charlotte’s Library, a blog that focuses on fantasy and science fiction books for kids and teenagers, gave Come Fall a really nice review. “[A]n excellent book full of vivid characterization,” it said.
My favorite quote:
In essence, this is a middle grade story of friendship, one of negotiating the complexities of growing up and being true to one’s self. And it’s a fine example of that genre. The magical underpinnings are unobtrusive, linked to the events of the “real” world, but not so much as to make the kids’ story, in itself, a fantasy. In fact, the story of Salm[a]n, Lu, and Blos could stand alone without the fairies.
But Titania, Oberon, and Puck add a dimension to it that gives it a special zest, a magical intrigue that makes a fairly predictable story into something more.
