…was this weekend at the Minnesota State Fairgrounds in St. Paul and it was a blast! Thanks to Eric Lorberer of Rain Taxi and all his fellow organizers for organizing, including bookseller extraordinaire Pamela Klinger-Horn, pictured here with yours truly, Laura Sims, and Mojgan Ghazirad before our Novel Melange panel, moderated by the inimitable Laurie Hertzel:

The Arts Building on the fairgrounds was cold, hence the coats, but the reception from attendees and exhibitors and everyone could not have been warmer!
