Scott Westerfeld and Me! And Justine and Karin...

As many of you already know, I am a *really* big fan of Scott Westerfeld. So I was thrilled to meet him at the American Library Association Conference in New Orleans in June.

I was also delighted to meet Justine Larbalestier, his wife, who wrote such a great book, _Magic or Madness_ and its sequel. I was really glad that my friend Karin, the public librarian, was there with me, to remind me of all the questions I had to ask Scott. I am happy to say that he answered them very politely. :D
