Hey all you librarians and library technicians in Ontario – if you're going to the OLA Super Conference this year, please stop by the Scholastic booth at 11:00am on Friday February 1st, at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre. I'll be there signing my illustrated book 13 Ghosts of Halloween, and I'll be really sad if no one comes to see me. Seriously, you don't want to see a cartoonist cry – it ain't a pretty sight. So please say hello!
I'll also be at the Expo Theatre on the Expo Floor from 12:00 noon 'til about 2:00pm with a great group of CANSCAIP authors and illustrators, doing a five-minute plug for 13 Ghosts. I'm terrified!! So if you see me, please don't laugh. 'Cuz that will make me cry, too....aren't artists a neurotic bunch? Well, I know I am, anyway...
So let's have a big hooray for libraries and librarians and library technicians! You rock my world, baby!
Good luck. No one will laugh and you won't cry!

Have fun, Patricia!! Wish I could drop by to see you but sadly I was not invited to attend OLA for my workplace this year. :(

Ah... that's within spitting distance of my office. I'd come by but I can't get in 'cause I'm not no liberrian. Sorry excuse my grammar, let me correct that... I AIN'T no liberrian. That's better.
Good luck, you'll do swell, or to quote Dr. Suess...
Congratulations!
Today is your day.
You're off to Great Places!
You're off and away!

You'll do great Patricia! They'll be lining up around the corner to get their hands on your ghosts - you just watch. And don't sweat the book launch - can you think of a better group of folks to talk books with than librarians? Nope, me neither.
I'll be there from about 2 ish, so I'll be there to cheer you on!
