Speech! Speech!

Hollins University has posted the Keynote Speech that Delia Sherman & I gave in June at the Children's Literature Association Conference that was held there this year. We decided to give parallel psycho-auto-biographies on how reading fantasy as children shaped our lives. Here's the link, if you'd like to watch it:

Delia & I both taught in the Hollins Graduate program in Children's Literature this summer, and enjoyed it hugely. We didn't realize when we signed on that we'd get the chance to participate in the CLA conference! Wish we'd had more time to hang out and talk with people there, but we were so focused on polishing our speech that we missed a lot of good stuff. Once the speech was over, we had a great time.
