November 14, 2009: Just in time for holiday shopping, the Savannah Children's Book Festival was held in Forsyth Park in Savannah, Georgia. I had a ball promoting our Southern Breeze Region of SCBWI, and signing copies of my novel THE DEEP CUT. (Barnes & Noble handled books sales for the festival and did an AWESOME job.)
October 17, 2009: The Southern Breeze Region of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators' fall conference will be held in Birmingham, Alabama. This year's superb faculty includes author Diane Z. Shore, Editor Calista Brill (First Second Books), Art Director Gayle Brown (Eerdmans Books for Young Readers), Agent Steven Chudney (The Chudney Agency), VP & Associate Publisher Kathy Landwehr (Peachtree Publishers), Editor Lynne Polvino (Clarion Books), Author Hester Bass, Author/Illustrator Sarah Campbell, Creativity Coach Rita Farin, Photographer Sandy Fry, Author Jo S. Kittinger, Author Carla K. McClafferty, and Author Brad Strickland. Whew! It's sure to be an inspiring day. I'll be signing copies of THE DEEP CUT. Watch this space for photos!

Labor Day weekend in Altanta means the incredible Decatur Book Festival, the largest independent book festival in the country! Authors and illustrators from all over the country are featured speakers (performers, in some cases), making for an awesome event. I sold all the copies of THE DEEP CUT by 1 p.m. the first day! Here are a few shots as we were setting up the SCBWI - Southern Breeze Region booth. (After that, it was much too busy to take pictures.)
With me (in the green blouse) in front of our booth is my illustrator for 12 DAYS OF CHRISTMAS IN GEORGIA, the fabulously talented Elizabeth Dulemba. The author to the left, in pink is C. M. Fleming, author of a terrific murder mystery, FINDER'S MAGIC.
