Just wanted to give anyone who is interested an update on our recent author visit with well-known author, Alex Flinn. It was great! Alex came to Albany on Wednesday night and we were fortunate enough to be able to take her out to dinner at a local restaurant with some colleagues. A nice intimate gathering - food and company were all good. We were lucky too in that Alex's friend Patrice Kindl (an author whose name will ring a bell with some of you) was also able to attend our dinner. The next day Alex participated on three separate occasions with our students. The first was a writer's workshop for some creative writing students. The second was a luncheon with members of our high school's English Club and College Writing Class and then spoke to them about writing and her books. The third was for a Publishing Class and for a group who had all read Breathing Underwater together. She was also willing to sign copies of her books for all of us. Overall it was a wonderful experience especially for our first author visit and we highly recommend her as a visiting author. If you have any questions - feel free to contact us! The book to read is not the one which thinks for you, but the one which makes you think. ~ Mccosh ~ Melissa Gergen Library Media Specialist Guilderland High School 861-8591 ext. 5801 8 School Road Guilderland Center, NY 12085 gergenm@guilderlandschools.org http://www.guilderlandschools.org/highschool/Library/library1.htm -------------------------------------------------------------------- All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
