Hi everyone! Hope your summer is in full swing.
I just wanted to pop in and let you know that COLUMBIAKids, an online publication for children of the Washington State Historical Society, has purchased another of my poems! Yay!
“Old Shoes” will be featured in issue 5. I’ll let you know when that happens. Thanks, Stephanie!
In other publishing news, more exciting things are coming. Think book length! I can’t spill the beans yet, but you’ll be the first (okay, maybe second) to know when I can.
Enjoy your summer! And don’t forget the sunscreen.

Judges said:COLUMBIAKids is a very attractive website which functions like an on-line magazine. The site should be commended for involving children’s authors and illustrators to work on the content which makes the site more appealling to the young readers. It is a useful resource for teachers. The site has many interesting sections to engage the readers – the jurors especially like CollectionConnundrum which teaches children how to look at objects and podPuzzle.

Did you know there’s an earthworm in Australia called the Giant Gippsland Earthworm that grows to six feet long? How do I know, you ask? Because friend and fellow writer, Ann Ingalls, and I have been researching interesting Australian critters. More on that later.(By the way, don’t mean to brag, but I have received my very own copy of Ann and her sister, Maryann Macdonald’s Little Piano Girl: The Story of Mary Lou Williams, Jazz Legend, and it is now signed by one of the authors. Just sayin’.)Humpty Dumpty will publish my poem “Found!” in its March/April 2010 issue! Thanks, TH.COLUMBIAKids published my poem “My Lists” in its Winter 2010 issue, out now. Have a look if you like. http://columbia.washingtonhistory.org/kids/fall2009/wordplay.aspxCan’t wait to attend the Children’s Literature Festival again this year at the University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg! This year the festival runs from March 14-16. What a great opportunity for school kids, authors, illustrators and bibliophiles in general to listen to and learn from some of the greats in kid lit.All the best!

Awesome News 1: I’m delighted to announce that Teresa Kietlinski of Prospect Agency has recently become my agent! And boy oh boy, do I feel lucky. Teresa is great–funny, prompt, helpful, intelligent, knowledgeable, energetic, connected. She’s got oodles of experience, and I’m so glad to be working with her. Maybe she’ll stop by some day and we can pick her brain about agenty kinds of things. Teresa?
