I am very excited! In just a few days, I will be attending a big event as a part of the SC Author Connection! What is the SC Author Connection? The SC Author Connection is a group of three South Carolina authors who will be going to several different book fairs and book festivals throughout the year.

I am a part of the SC Author Connection, along with Sybil Nelson, author of the Priscilla the Great series and several adult and young adult novels, and Elysabeth Eldering, author of Finally Home, along with several other young adult and children’s novels.

I first met Sybil at the YALLFest in Charleston and talked about sharing booths in future events. She had had contact with Elysabeth prior to the YALLFest and later on introduced us through email. After a few emails, we agreed to form a group to go to different book festivals and decided on the name SC Author Connection. Eventually, I designed the banner for the SC Author Connection that we would use at all of our big events. The image on the left is a picture of the banner I created.

Our first big event that we will be going to as a group will be the SC Association of School Librarians (SCASL) Conference. I will be traveling about four hours up to Greenville, SC to participate in the SCASL Conference for three days, Wednesday the 14th, Thursday the 15th, and Friday the 16th. I am very excited to get to go to the SCASL Conference with the group! More information about our next big events, such as the SC Book Festival, will be posted soon!
