So far, 2015 has been all about writing for me. It's been nice to hibernate a little, especially with all the snowfall we're having here in Colorado.

But I do like to get out every once in a while. And I hope to see you at one of these events, if you find yourself in Colorado!

Here's where I'll be:

Feb. 5, 2015: CCIRA Conference (Denver, CO):

I’ll be at the SCBWI table, sharing all the great things SCBWI has to offer!

Feb. 14, 2015: Pikes Peak Writers one day conference (Colorado Springs, CO)

I’m hosting a free workshop for local writers on how to plot a novel using plot points.

Apr. 11, 2015: Colorado Teen Literature Conference (Denver, CO)

Presenting a workshop on reaching reluctant MG and YA readers

Apr. 24-26, 2015: Pikes Peak Writers Conference (Colorado Springs, CO)

Faculty member, presenting workshops on writing MG, plotting, and author platform building.

Double Vision trilogy books will be available at the bookstore at all events. Hope to see you there!

And to add a bit of good news: Double Vision: Code Name 711 will be out in paperback on February 10th!

Just in time for Presidents Day (since the book features George Washington), very cool...

To celebrate, there's a giveaway of signed copies over at Goodreads (see nifty gadget to the right). Or be wild and crazy with seven bucks, and buy yourself a copy at your favorite bookstore, or straight from the awesome people at Harper Children's. I love paperbacks, don't you?

A few weeks ago I attended a CCIRA conference in Denver. http://www.ccira.org/w/w?cmd=goconffees

I was at the conference to share my new book “Peepsqueak“, (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdllelLIRS4) but also to help promote SCBWI, The Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators! It is a wonderful organization that helps authors and illustrators figure out how to get published.

During this CCIRA conference I met three people. Elaine Pease (http://www.peasepodbooks.com/) and Kathleen Pelley (http://www.kathleenpelley.com/) and Sarah Azibo, the RMC-SCBWI Exhibits Coordinator. Sarah is also a writer!

We had a lot of fun talking to passersby. We were encouraging them to attend a SCBWI event. It was not hard to sell SCBWI. When people find out about this group, they LOVE it! There are chapters in many states, and around the world! (www.scbwi.org/) Many people have told me they want to write a children’s book. Step 1….. join SCBWI!

During this CCIRA conference we also had time to compare notes about our businesses. It was great fun!! Kathleen is from Scotland. Sarah and I loved sitting and listening to her talk! We all braved the winter storm to attend the conference but it was worth it!!
