This evening and tomorrow I am venturing down to the fair city of Olympia to participate in the Olympia Book and Author Fair . It’s one of those events that came a bit out of left field seeing as, on the whole, I have the Seattleite’s obliviousness about the “South Sound.” However, at last year’s InfoCamp I met a lovely librarian (are there any other kind?), Kelsey Smith of the Olympia Timberland Library and she graciously invited me to participate.
I’ve even got a mention in the article in The Olympian . My favorite part is this –
“There are three professors with very substantive books,” Ingle said, along with history writers such as Ann Wendell, who penned “Frederick & Nelson (Images of America: Washington).”
implication being, at least to my hyper-sensitive author brain, “we’ve got some serious writers coming and then there’s this Wendell chick who natters on about Frangos and Tearooms.” Harumpf…who’s gonna have the fun table?!?!? I am!!!! Right? OK…I want all you F&N fans turning out in force, peering through your fetching little hats with veils, and delivering coconut cake to the waiting throngs. I knew I could count on you.
