sneak peek monday!

hello lovely readers!

can you believe it is the week of thanksgiving

already? i cannot! i’ve been kept busy with

many fun events and other activities, and wanted

to update here with some sneak peeks.

first off, my san diego writing friends and i hosted

YA in the Sun which was months in the organizing!

thank you so much for san diego county library for letting

us use the encinitas (ocean views!) library and for

jennifer and anna for helping out to make the event

so fantastic!

we invited twenty southern cali middle grade and young

adult authors and had over one hundred attendees. here’s

a foto of the group (or as much as we could get of the group

by the end of the day). please like our facebook page and

check out the album with almost eighty rad fotos from authors

to readers and fans!

also, i have been called back by chinese beauties

and started another one. i really love this one and

am in the process of painting her in–hoping i don’t

ruin anything. i think that readers enjoy seeing the work

in progress with my art work. and it’s fun to see the

painting evolve to the final, too. she is holding a covered

pipa, a four stringed chinese lute.

and finally, Diverse Energies is stocked on amazon,

bn.com (also in some bn stores), and some indies as

well. you can order the anthology into your local bn

or indie if it is not stocked there. just in time for the

holidays. =D as a teaser, here is a sneak peek at the

beginning of my short story “Blue Skies”.

a wonderful, cozy and warm thanksgiving for all

those that celebrate! hope you eat and celebrate well!
