Hello friends, family, and fans of literature,

Finally, I have two major writer events I'll be attending this summer—it's so exciting!

First, in July, I'll be staying in a cabin on Mt. Hood in Rhododendron, Oregon, with the members of my writer group: Willow Writers. This annual retreat is always productive—and so much fun!

Then in August, I'll be attending the SCBWI Summer Conference in Los Angeles. (The other end of the spectrum!)

Whenever I'm lucky enough to attend this conference, it always serves as major inspiration for me.

I'll be sure to include the details of both of these events in my fall newsletter!
