Forsooth! Or something like that.

Just a quick note to let my East Tennesee peeps know that I'm going to be in town tomorrow for the Knoxville Public Library's "ShakesFest," a celebration of Shakespeare, YA lit, and prancing about with swords.

The event is from 1-4 p.m. at the East Tennessee History Center downtown on Gay Street, and admission is free.

Members of the Tennessee Stage Company's Shakespeare on the Square troupe will be performing scenes from Hamlet, and I'll be reading my take on the same scenes from Something Rotten before selling and signing books. Then, there will be fencing.

Hope to see you there!
