P.J. Hoover and Triceratops horridus.
P.J. Hoover is the author of THE FORGOTTEN WORLDS TRILOGY, comprising THE EMERALD TABLET, THE NAVEL OF THE WORLD, and THE NECROPOLIS. She blogs at Roots in Myth and at Texas Sweethearts and Scoundrels. A former electrical engineer, she , of course, decorates her Christmas tree (almost) exclusively with Star Trek ornaments.
P.J. and a big giant turtle (probably Protostega or Archelon).
Recently, P.J. attended an overnighter at the Dallas Museum of Nature and Science and was kind enough to send these photos.
Together with her fellow Texas Sweethearts and Scoundrels, she's going to be leading a workshop on revision for the Austin SCBWI this July. Also, for next week's Texas Library Association Annual Conference here in Austin next week, note that the Texas Sweethearts and Scoundrels are hosting a reception at the CBAY booth on April 13, at 2 pm.
