I'm thankful for my husband, my family, my agent, my critique partners, the VCFA community, SCBWI, Whale Rock, and all of my friends who support and cheer for me. I'm also thankful for my dogs and lattes. :)

Same here! One of my critique partners moved away during the pandemic, and our critique group was able to stay together.

I graduated from VCFA's Writing for Children and Young Adults program. I loved it! The faculty and community are great! As a grad, I can still watch or listen to the recorded lectures, and I have access to the library. Going to VCFA was the very best gift I could have given myself.

I loved your pilgrimage requests! Your fun list of sites let me discover new-to-me cool spots, and it was a blast, experiencing it all with you! I'm already looking forward to the next time!

I had a fabulous weekend with my amazing agent, @jenniekendrick.bsky.social. We celebrated Jennie's birthday with all sorts of fun adventures. Our activities included touring Chihuly Glass & Garden, visiting Seattle's rat mosaic, & posing with the World's Largest Rubber Chicken. It was awesome!

Jim and I spent a dreamy weekend at the lighthouse keeper's house at Point Wilson. Meeting up with @writerlou.bsky.social and @faithpray7.bsky.social made our time in Port Townsend even more magical!
