SCBWI SoCal Fall Harvest Conference was amazing! So thankful for the awesome speakers, friends old and new, thoughtful critiques, networking! One presenter said she'd found her "planet" with children's literature. Ditto!!! Also, I still can't believe I won an award for my novel! 🥹 #scbwi #scbwisocal

It was a powerful day for having a say in the direction of our country.
Amazing to see so many in OC standing up for what’s right — and to know that this was just a small piece of the protest.
I hope everyone stayed safe.
I hope good change will come, and soon.
We’ll keep standing up until it does.

Thank you!
