Appearances 2009-2010
I had a great time speaking for SCBWI in Paris and Bologna and attending IRA, BEA, ALA, and other educators' conferences in 2007. I will be at most or all of them in 2009. I look forward to signing books at NCTE in San Antonio, speaking and signing for the SE regional IRA in Nashville, speaking and signing at Wisconsin State Reading Association, speaking/teaching at the Southern Breeze chapter of SCBWI and more!

 Between trips, I will be chained to my desk, writing madly. 
2009 releases:  Sacred Scars from Atheneum, the second in the Ressurection of Magic trilogy. The Faeries' Promise Quartet Book One...still untitled, I am working on it.  I have four other major projects in the works. I will announce them here ASAP.

I fit in as many school visits as I possibly can every year. I try to keep the calendar current, but please be in touch to see if your appearance dates are available.
