On the third stop of the MIDSUMMER’S MAYHEM west coast tour, I traveled to the Bay Area to visit Books Inc in Campbell, CA! This was a truly special experience: one of the booksellers, Colleen, is a trained pastry chef, and she made lemon-lavender cupcakes, chocolate-chunk citrus thyme cookies, and gulab jamun cupcakes! I got to meet members of the store’s Middle Grade Book Club, which meant LOTS of kids, many of whom had already read MIDSUMMER’S MAYHEM! They asked scores of fantastic questions, and had so much fun with our “smelling contest” with herbs! I got to spend time with fellow authors, including fellow MG debut author Lindsay Lackey, and fellow Soaring20sPB debut authors Darshana Khiani, and Vicky Fang! Last but certainly not least, I got to reconnect with friends from medical school and college!!
