Upcoming events & appearances

7/30-8/2/10 – I’ll be attending the SCBWI-LA (Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators) regional conference! I’m not scheduled to speak on any panels, which means I’ll have plenty of time to wander around looking lost and lonely. Come say hi to me! Be my friend! I beg you! Wait, is this the proper tone for an author’s “News” page?

Nov. 2010 – Bad Girls Don’t Die will be featured as part of The Great Scavenger Hunt Contest, a fantastic contest designed by author Kay Cassidy to help libraries through the tough economic times! Check it out (and tell your librarian about it)!
