It seems like I have recently seen more well-known national authors visiting Utah than in years past. They've visited public libraries, bookstores, and conferences. Have you noticed this, too? Maybe it's the state of the economy, and the publishing companies are encouraging the authors to travel more and make themselves more available in order to increase sales. Or maybe it's just that children's literature is becoming more and more mainstream, and there is a demand for these authors. For whatever reason, it's great fun to be able to listen to notable children's authors.

What are some of your experiences being able to hear from authors---whether at a conference, bookstore, etc? Were there some authors that were especially memorable?
