I've been sitting on this news for a month now - keeping my promise not to blab until it was time to tell... Well my friends - that time is NOW!
(FANFARE) Alan Silberberg (that would be me) has been selected as this year's James Thurber House Children's Author in Residence. YAY!!!!!
You can read about the residency program and see the nice things the Thurber House folks say about me on their site, which now means I'll be showering them all with chocolate-type gifts when I arrive in Columbus, Ohio this summer.
I look forward to sharing all of the great details with you - but for anyone who has ever planned a bar mitzvah (insert wedding, anniversary dinner, huge party) - I am swamped in my own lovely chaos of prepping for this wonderful event (Saturday -eek!).
So for now - to see how I really feel - just CLICK ON THE HOUSE that I get to call home for four weeks this summer!
And now that the you know the news stay tuned for lots more about what it means to receive this incredible honor...and live in a house with ghosts!!

I can't wait! Thanks everyone - there's much to tell about it, which I hope to do soon.
Alan
