This website’s author, Terry Lee Marzell, is excited to be attending this year’s Tucson Festival of Books, which is scheduled for March 10-11 on the campus of the University of Arizona, Tucson. Terry will be appearing as a featured author in the booth of Wheatmark Publishers, Booth 402, on Sunday, March 11, from 9:30 to 11:00 a.m. Come and visit her there!

This year’s festival, a celebration of literature, is the tenth year of the annual event. Over the last ten years, the two-day event has grown to become the third largest reader event in the country. Each year, more than 130,000 book lovers attend the variety of author presentations, panel discussions, workshops, exhibits, and great food. This year, event organizers have announced they are offering special programming for children and teens, a literary circus, culturally diverse programs, and a poetry venue. And it’s all free to the public! To learn more about the Tucson Festival of Books, visit their website at TFoB.

In addition to authoring this website and blog, Terry Lee Marzell is the author of two books about remarkable teachers in American history: Chalkboard Champions (Wheatmark, 2012) and Chalkboard Heroes (Wheatmark, 2015). Having spent 36 years in the public schools as a classroom teacher and school librarian, Terry is now retired. She spends her time writing, blogging, and engaging in public speaking engagements. She also volunteers her time as an adult literacy tutor at her local library and at the local pet shelter. Come and meet her personally at the Tucson Festival of Books!
