We are warming up to book festival season. Next week will be a two-festival weekend for me. Saturday, May 31, 10-4, I’ll be at the Sacramento Book Festival, chatting with readers at a table with Dorothy Rice, and speaking on a panel for historical novels, with Catriona McPherson, Tim Schooley,  Judith Starkston, and Ana Brazil, from 2:20-3:00. And Sunday, June 1, I’ll chat with readers in Berkeley at a She Writes Press table at the Bay Area Book Festival. If you’ll be at either, please stop by so we can catch up and talk about stories.
