I am totally jazzed to have Texas author Victoria Scott talking about one of our favorite subjects...TEXAS! Victoria is the author of that hunky book right up there that drops April 2nd from Entangled Teen and she has plenty more in the works! She was also added to the YAB Fest lineup which is May 11th right here in north Austin.

My office. There's a bird feeder right outside my window. I like to watch the birds...and my cats trying to eat the birds. Don't worry, they never succeed. They're less the athletic type and more the Kitty Weight Watchers type.

What the hell is "pop"? Like, the name for a father figure 50 years ago? No, I drink soda. Or more accurately--Coke. Everything is a Coke.

Cafe Izmir. It's a Greek place that pours a gallon of oil into its hummus. Success.

Most of Cynthia Leitich-Smith's book are set in Texas, and I LOVE her books. I also believe part or all of No Country for Old Men was filmed in Texas. So I'll go with that one!
