I'm very interested in your session on historical fiction and plan on being there. I hope I get a chance to meet you--I've got an historical YA novel that's just coming out based on the Sand Creek Massacre of 1864. I'm very interested in your idea of bringing the past in the present--especially as concerns topics of social justice.
See you in San Antonio!
