It was nice getting to know everyone and answer even more writing questions. After lunch, before heading out the door, I swung by Mrs. Peacock\u2019s room to sign her special locker. It was a pleasure to place my name next to those of past visiting authors. Hey, Falcons, be sure to swing by yourselves and see what I wrote!<br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.richmond.k12.nc.us\/FHES\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/michaelanthonysteele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSCN6666.jpg\" alt=\"DSCN6666\" width=\"500\" height=\"324\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2735\" srcset=\"https:\/\/michaelanthonysteele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSCN6666.jpg 500w, https:\/\/michaelanthonysteele.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/DSCN6666-300x194.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n&nbsp;<br \/>\nThanks to Mrs. Covington for doing such a great job hosting her first author visit during her first year as a Librarian!
