SOUTHERN WRITERS 

Recently I was invited to blog with a group of Southern writers at A Good Blog is Hard to Find. I'm one of the few children's writers, but there are a lot of fine writers in the group. Each day readers receive a glimpse into writing, books, and life from a different Southern point of view.

Today is my first entry. To introduce myself, I posted a speech about Louisiana that I gave at ALA. And if you know anything about me, you know that Louisiana owns an important chunk of my heart.
