It’s a city I’ve been wanting to visit for years. I took French for 7 years when I was younger. The French did not quite come back to me but my Frenglish was excellent!
I stayed at the Hotel La Belle Juliette, a lovely boutique hotel located in the St.-Germain-des-Prés area of Paris. The hotel was charming and stylish with many cute Parisia...

New York Comic Con 2012: A Celebration of Pop Culture
The New York Comic Con, a pop culture cornucopia that brings together the comic book, movie, music, and TV worlds, descended upon New York City this past weekend.

Words of Wisdom from the SCBWI Summer Conference 2012

Here are a few other words of wisdom from the conference that I wanted to share with you to add positive and inspiring thoughts to your day!

My Book Reading at Macy’s Herald Square, NYC – May 5, 2012
