Beautiful day, lots of great authors, wandering hither and yon with little book lovers- what could be better?
Well, I got to meet Kathryn Erskine. And hear her speak about her new book. That was pretty cool.
I love what she said about writing the book, about her long journey to get this one just right. (I've read it and it's more than right. It's a terrific story, beautifully told.)
I love the double-entendred title. (Is that a verb? Is that even a word?) And that she endured so many title choices-- Facing Freedom, Deer Season, Freeman’s Phoenix, Cornerstone, Finding Truth, Finding Hope-- before deciding on the absolute perfect title:
SEEING RED.
Here's her own blog, and the story of the book's publication journey:

There's more! I just discovered this terrific interview.
If you hurry on over, there's a giveaway of the book.
Quick! Ends tomorrow!

I read SEEING RED when it was CORNERSTONE and again in ARC form. Aim to blog about it very soon. Or maybe do an interview. Hmmmm I've got to get back to blogging!
