I was at Salem Middle School today with the fabulous librarians Debbie Dupree and Tory Borowsky.

I spoke to 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students…all great kids, well prepared with wonderful questions.  The art class made very cool book covers with titles and summaries of their proposed books. I want to thank Yosef and Chase for the very nice illustration and book title, which I might just steal.

It’s hot here in NC upper 80s lower 90s.  Thick yellow pollen coats all the cars.   People sneezing.  Apparently I’m not allergic to whatever it is.

Back at the hotel relatively early.  Out in the lobby writing as they clean my room.
