I Have Connections

I actually know one of the authors on the New York Public Library's Top 100 Books List, Mitali Perkins. Four or five years ago, I had dinner at a table next to the table at which another of these author's was seated, Lois Lowry. And Tomi dePaulo, who made the list twice, once walked by me at a conference and was so close, I could have reached out and shoved him.
