Time Out
Hello, Readers—
I just got the final edits for The Side Door, and they are going to keep me busy for the next several weeks. As a result, I will not be posting Opal stories for a while, but she will be back; I promise. Her story continues to unfold.

Saturday in New Jersey
Just returned from a writers/editors conference at Rutgers University. What a well-conceived, well-organized event—a one day conference during which writers, editors, and agents mingle. And I was most impressed with the editors I met—all of them young and passionate, intelligent and thoughtful. They love books. They love good writing. And they volunteered a Saturday to offer encouragement, advice, and feedback. Trying to market one’s work can often feel discouraging, but the Rutgers University Council on Children’s Literature has found a way to make it encouraging. For that, I am grateful.
