Words and Pictures



Well that was a pretty nifty weekend - I attended the New England Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrator's conference Saturday. It was most definitely worth getting up at 5:30 in the morning on a weekend.

I have to say the crowd consisted of some of the nicest and most genuine people I've met, with lots of talent to boot. The talks were informative; I really enjoyed Cheryl Kirk Noll's talk on illustrating for non-fiction and Bruce Coville's keynote. I also really enjoyed the brownies. Props to the hotel for those.

The only regret? Trying to navigate Nashua and Manchester armed with yahoo! directions. Ey yi yi...

The photo was snapped in Exeter, New Hampshire on the way home. If you've ever read "A Separate Peace," the story is set in a town modeled after Exeter.
