Illustrating children's books can be the hard part; it depends on how talented you are with drawing.

It's way too flat over there in Billings! As a native Missoulian, I much prefer the mountains...

I'm an all around starving artist (writer, actress, singer, artist) so I can draw... except people, it's hard for me to draw people. I can draw animals really well though it's just I haven't been able to get to working on my illustrations because my graphics tablet is acting weird and I don't really have the patience to deal with it right now ha ha ha :)I already have to struggle with it to illustrate the first issue of my graphic novel for my book arts class and it's quite annoying... stupid technology always breaking on me :(

I don't either. You'll fiund out why if you read my memoir, Becoming Alice.

I live in Pennsylvania, where I was born. But I've also lived in South Korea and have wandered New England, the South, the West, Mexico, Canada and Japan.

[James]

I was born and raised in northwestern Montana and I still manage to spend a month there every summer on Flathead Lake. Otherwise, I live mostly in Scottsdale, AZ, with two or three months a year in Moline, IL. My upcoming book, No Place to Die is set in the Phoenix metro area which includes Scottsdale and a number of other cities and towns.

James I saw your book listed in another thread and it looks interesting. Too bad we have to wait until summer for it to be released :-)

Thanks, Dustin. Believe me, it's a long time for me to wait too!

[Dustin the wind Crazy little brown owl]

James, check out this discussion thread I posted in the Bulletin Board Folder, I think your book would be a good fit when it's more readily available - maybe later this year? :-)

Glad to see someone else from Ontario (Kingston), although I'm from Britain originally.

Sorry I seem to have messed up your last entry: putting things in the wrong place!

Sorry, I seem to have messed up your last entry, by putting things in the wrong place! I'm not very proficient at this. As you'll gather, I'm also from Ontario (Kingston) but from Britain originally. My novel is "Sardinian Silver."

My book (the cover of which I've been trying to post here, unsuccessfully) is "Sardinian Silver," available at any bookstore or at any Amazon site.

Glad to meet you, Colin :). Kingston is not too far -- I'm in the Niagara Region or Windsor, depending on the time of year!

I'd love to spend some time in Britain.

(about 2.5 hours from you, Amelia)

And Steve, I lived in Portland for 3 years growing up. Back in 1989 or so. I think I was in 3rd grade. :)

Moving from there to here was a shock because there we don't have all the trees here, but now, when I go back to portland, I get turned around because I can't see the horizon. I always know where I am here because I can see so far. :)

[Amelia]

I know that feeling. If the mountains aren't around I lose my sense of direction as well.

North Pole, Alaska--and that is not THE North Pole, but a suburb of Fairbanks. I've lived in Alaska for 47 years now--graduate school, physics faculty, retirement and I've just published my first book. Science fiction rather than about Alaska; Alaska doesn't come in until book 4.

After spending the last 15 years in Spain and Ireland,I am now back in Canada where I make my home in the beautiful town of Kelowna, British Columbia. Lakes, wine, fruit and sun. What more can you ask for?

[Audrey]

I'm originally from the Bay Area in Cali, but now live in beautiful Washington State. So spoiled here.

[Julie]

So maybe you can tell me: Who calls it Cali, anyway? I've lived for fifty years in California, and I've never heard it in person, but I've seen it all over the internet. Oh, I live in Sacramento, but I'm a native of Fort Bragg (Mendocino County).

[Audrey]

50 years is a long time - my family's been there for generations. My dad will NEVER leave. I'm not sure where we got Cali from? Who really knows. Sayings in families can be contagious :}.

[Julie]

So has mine....just wondering where that usage comes from.
