Thank you to everyone (over eighty!) who came out to meet Tamora Pierce last night.
She read from her newest Tortall title, Beka Cooper: Terrier, and spoke about her inspirations, being a writer and signed books for all ages.
We thank Tamora, Random House and The Mystery Spot (an independent bookstore from Carmel, Indiana) for visiting us at the Crawfordsville District Public Library.
We hope to have more author visits in the future! Thank you for making this such a positive experience!
