After Albany, we were flying out to GA for an event called
On the Same Page, mainly organized by the incredible
Little Shop of Stories Bookstore. When I was first contacted about this event, I actually tried to weasel out. I don't like to travel in the winter and also after being in Taiwan, I thought we'd probably could use a break. But then my publisher told that this was a huge honor and I really shouldn't decline, and I reconsidered. And I am SO glad that I did!
Because
On the Same Page is a community read program in Decatur, GA-- and they were reading
Where the Mountain Meets the Moon! They created an amazing 3-month program of activities and events all around the book:
with me, at the end, coming to some schools:
as well as a huge grand finale event:
with lions, both big:
and little:
singing:
and acting!
Synchronicity Theater in Atlanta, GA is putting on
a performance Where the Mountain Meets the Moon! At the event, they gave us a sneak peak. The
real show starts February 7th, buy your tickets now and then tell me how it went!
Because even without costumes and sets, I was entranced! The whole night was amazing. To see a packed audience and so many wonderful creations inspired from a book I wrote...well, it sometimes there aren't enough adjectives. I've said this before, but it's completely true--the saddest thing for an author is to write something that you've put your whole heart into and realize that no one cares. So when the opposite happens, it is a realization of your happiest dream.
Thank you so much,
On the Same Page and
Little Shop of Stories for making this author's dream come true!
