At a writing conference for SCBWI, I met Tanager. Her art instantly drew me in and intrigued me. Her fun personality oozed with life, almost fantastical compared to my usual gray cubicle.

Tanager also writes speculative fiction.  Her ideas memorize me. Find more about her here.

While sitting in a condo on the Oregon coast,  I blurt out,  "I think my lifeguards are going to ride dirt bikes."

The room erupts in laughter. "Where did that come from? "

The joys of being a writer.

Believe in Yourself

At the grocery store the other day, the checker had a tattoo on his arm that read, "Believe in Yourself". I had to smile when I saw it. "I like your tattoo."
"Really?" he asked. "I like it too."
"Yep, it's the theme of my book I just wrote."

Synchronicity is beautiful, isn't it?
