Lewis and Clark Elementary Rocks! A big shout out to the fifth graders at Lewis and Clark Elementary!

I had a great time today talking with them about writing nonfiction. They listened well, asked good questions, and made me feel right at home.

They even introduced me to a resource I didn't know existed, myON.com, an interactive digital library. We listened to some of my VAMPIRES AND LIGHT book. Cool voices! These smart students and their equally-wise teachers use it all the time.

Thanks to super teachers, Ms. Raney, Ms. Williams, and Mr. Lewis, and to Assistant Principal, Katie Lawson.

Go get 'em, fifth graders! I can't wait to see where YOUR interests take you!

Middle Grade March 
I was recently interviewed by my critique buddy and school librarian, Deb Marshall. Thought you might like to have a peek.

Thanks, Deb! I can't wait to send one of your students one of my books!
