Novel-T is in Miami, Florida for the weekend for the Miami Book Fair, one of our favorite events of the year.  For a couple kids from New York, it's hard to beat the chance to shoot down to the sunny climes of South Florida to talk books for a few days.

It's simple in just the way that the best writing is: straightforward and succinct.
