This is my FIFTH UTOPiA. I keep coming back because it is a joyful moment in my year, filled with friends and inspiration. I'm moderating the "Tackling Tough Topics" panel Thursday at 3 pm so I hope to see you there. I'll be signing books immediately after the panel, and I'll also be at table number F7 on Friday with books and swag.

Come and talk to me about anything - my books, your books, the event. Even if you have nothing to say but just don't have anyone to talk to, I'd love to say hi. Warning though - I seem to witness a lot of first timers crying. Bring on the feels.
