Join me and fellow children's book writers and illustrators for the biggest, badest SCBWI conference of them all! And don't forget to come to the sessions I will be presenting in collaboration with Julie Hedlund:

Sunday, Aug 4, 2:45-3:45 - Picture Book & Story Book Apps: Same, Same but Quite Different

Monday, Aug 5, 9:00-12:15 - Writing & Submitting Interactive Apps & eBooks

Find me back on my home turf and at my desk:

• preparing for SCBWI-LA
• revising Day of the Dead
  
• curating images for Day of the Dead, and
• laying out the French-English bilingual digital edition of Beware Mme la Guillotine
  

Join me as I explore Turkey's colorful past by day. Cut a rug with me at Istanbul's annual Jazz Festival by night. That's right, in addition to being a writer, I am a singer and a HUGE jazz fan. I try to go to at least one music festival each year. Stayed tuned for blog posts and interviews from there...
