A mountaintop retreat. Cool breeze. Brilliant sunshine. Kids. Lots of kids, reading and writing and loving it in centers designed with the flair of a circus big top. This festive mix unfolded before Jenny Williams and me as we spent the afternoon at the Domain in Lee County. Familiar faces lit up in smiles. New acquaintances were just as friendly. Enthusiastic campers, counselors, and teachers bubbled with excitement. http://www.blogger.com/img/gl.link.gifThe excitement was contagious. On stage, I felt the thrill, the joy, the pleasure of sharing my books with the campers, who responded with smiles of their own--and laughter. I discussed the process of writing and publishing books. Campers joined me, center stage, with short performances of their own. Reading camp rocks, under the big top!
-Nancy Kelly Allen was a visiting author to the Cathedral Domain Reading Camp this week. She also shared her book entitled Once Upon a Dime.
