Just returned from the fabulous SCBWI-Los Angeles (Society of Children’s Book  Writers & Illustrators) conference held from July 31 to August 3, 2015 – inspired and ready to work! Met former friends and made new ones. Wonderful time! Here is the TEXAS “delegation.” Almost 1200 writers and illustrators attended the conference.

The keynote speakers were awesome and the many workshops offered were really helpful. I bought quite a few books at the conference that I had to get them shipped because they didn’t fit in my suitcase. Now back to work on those manuscripts that need revising.
