One of the delightful aspects of being a writer is that you're invited to places you might not have occasion to visit otherwise. This was the case this weekend when I traveled to Boise, Idaho to teach at the Idaho Writers Conference hosted by the Idaho Writers Guild.
These past couple of days have been an opportunity to step away from my desk and interact with writers and readers. It was so inspiring and affirming to spend time in Boise's vibrant literary community and also to visit their fabulous indie bookstore, Rediscovered Books.
So join me as I share some snapshots from my quick trip to Boise. They have much more to offer than just potatoes!

Boise does rock!
The welcome reception at Rediscovered Books featured the conference presenters and coincided with the awarding of the Pacific Northwest Bookseller Award to Emily Ruskovich for her appropriately titled novel, "Idaho."
Fellow Seattle mystery writer Mike Lawson was also a presenter.
Yes, they do have lots of potatoes, too, and baked potato magnets!
