Austin, Houston, and San Antonio…then on to Arizona

I have been in Texas on a book tour: Austin, Houston, and San Antonio. I learned a few things. Texas is very green (no tumbleweeds). No one in Texas wears ten-gallon hats. And everyone in Texas is incredibly nice. The folks at BookPeople took me to lunch. West Ridge Middle School in Austin presented me with a tote bag and and a tee-shirt (go Wildcats!) At Housman Elementary in Houston, Guusje Moore and her girls had a tea for us: tea and lemon tarts, fizzy punch and cucumber sandwiches. It was lovely and very generous. And in San Antonio it rained. Rained and rained. You should know by now I love the rain and was very grateful for it. Thank you, Texas, for everything. Now it’s on to Arizona.
