The crowd! Yay! 🙂


Dr. Charles Hall (Lake City Community College president) and his wife, Robin.


Jim Morris, the LCCC librarian who set up my visit.

The Timberwolves! Woo!


Dr. Hurner (my Freshman Comp I) prof. I referenced him in my speech and talked about how he gave me an F on my first essay at LCCC. *grins*

Magic! She came over with Debbie and George from Gentle Carousel.

This morning, I did a school visit at Richardson Middle School in Lake City, Florida. I had a fantastic time visting Dr. Summers’ class and I’ll be getting those photos soon. I’ll share all of the details about the school visit after I get the pics.

At 10am, I appeared on LCCC’s campus show–Perspectives. Thanks to Mike McKee for interviewing me on the show. I got a DVD of the show and I have a new favorite word. I said it a lot. “Absolutely.” 🙂 But I didn’t say “so!”

Then, at 2pm, I signed books and made a speech in the library. It was so much fun!

Thank you to everyone at LCCC, especially:

Jim Morris
Sonja Yarborough
Charles Hall
Mike McKee
Audrey Hulen

Also, my past professors who stopped by–Harriet Poole, Larry Gunter and David Hurner–it was great to see you!

When I had a break, I met with Debbie and Jorge Garcia-Bengochea. Debbie and Jorge run an amazing organization called Gentle Carousel. The program uses mini horses for therapy to visit sick and abused children. Debbie, Jorge and Magic met me at LCCC. I took a photo with Magic for their Website and signed books for them to use in their program. You can view the info they posted about Canterwood here on their Website. Just scroll about halfway down the page. I’m
right above Joe Camp, the man behind Benji. 🙂

I’m here

This is my hotel room for tonight. Love. It. I’m staying over in Lake City since I have to be at the college at 8:15ish tomorrow morning. I’ll be doing a quick meet and greet at LCCC before heading over to Richardson Middle School to present to a pre-AP class. Then, I go back to LCCC to film their campus TV show, Perspectives. I have a couple of hours free after that and I’m hoping to meet with a director of a mini horse therapy program.

After my free period, I’m reading and signing books in the library at 2pm. Fingers crossed that all goes well! 🙂

If you’re in Lake City, hope to see you tomorrow!

PS- That’s my *third* Diet Coke of the night. Yeeaaaah.

Visit to Lake City Community College and Richardson Middle School

On March 18, I’m visiting Lake City Community College (Lake City, FL) to read, sign books and appear on the college’s TV show–Perspectives.

Before my signing, I’ll be visiting Richardson Middle School in Lake City. I get to meet with a pre-AP class and I can’t wait. Should be fun.

I’ll be signing books at 2pm in the learning resource center at LCCC’s campus. This is super special to me because I started taking classes at LCCC when I was sixteen. I graduated from LCCC in fall 2005 and then transferred to FSU. I had an amazing time at LCCC and I’m excited to go back. The campus is amazing and I had the best experience there.

A very special thanks to Jim Morris and Sonja Yarborough for setting this up. I appreciate it! Gooo, Timberwolves! 😀
