As I said before, on Saturday, April 5, 2008, I’ll be part of a children’s book panel (that also includes my friend Jenny Whitehead, whom I haven’s seen in way too long) at the Borders on 119th and Metcalf in Overland Park, Kansas. Afterward, I’ll present a writing workshop in the café. The store is going all out to celebrate educators. Jenny at Borders sent me this flyer:

Hello,
No, this is not spam. But it may contain cheese.
Actually, I am trying to find a writers group in the Topeka area, and stumbled upon your blog in my odd word pairings. There's a vague reference to one at Barnes & Noble, but it's almost a month off.
Surely, this town has more than one writers group. (Maybe it does, and don't call me Shirley.) Can you be of any assistance?
My email is smegthat@aol.com. And I'm not a total weirdo. I'm including addresses to my two Blogspot sites to validate I do exist and pretend to be a writer.

Hey, Lisa,
Thanks so much for the wonderful presentation yesterday for members of the Kansas City Writers Meetup group.
Your tips for writing effective dialogue were super! In fact, I put some of them up at my site. Hope that's okay.
Happy writing!
