Highlights contract!



I received a contract today for my article for Highlights' Gallant Kids feature. It's about a couple of Girl Scouts who made fleece blankets for the seals and sea lions at the Pacific Marine Mammal Center. I don't have any clue when it might be published, but I'm thrilled they accepted it.

A nice surprise from SCBWI conference

I attended a fun Editors' Day today for the Orange County/San Bernardino/Riverside chapters of SCBWI. And I won second place for my new middle grade WIP, MY MOM LOVES ALL THE OTHER BROWNIES MORE THAN ME. It was a complete surprise and will motivate me to work on some new chapters.
