MEETUP:
It's a YA bonanza! This year I am hosting a Literary Lonestars and YART meetup, a night for YA bloggers/librarians/authors/everyone else. Come hang out at Ritas on the River on 245 East Commerce right on the riverwalk on Wednesday, April 9th, 5:30pm - Way Too Late O'clock! This is an all-ages venue, but full bar. This event is casual, come and go, and a perfect place to talk shop, socialize, and meet YAers who YA as hard as you. Sign in the copter below so I can get a good head count. This invitation is open - BRING a friend, just put the name below. Questions? Email me or find me at @jenbigheart. Share that flyer like you mean it! Map and menu here.
