How many critique groups are too many? I belong to three - at least I did until February when I told my picture book critique group that I planned to take a break to concentrate on a couple of projects of the non-picture book variety. But I miss seeing them on a regular basis, so I invited them up for our 2nd annual gathering for food, chit-chat, and of course shop talk. ![]() They arrived with food, enthusiasm, and updates from the latest conference. We'd communicated back and forth on our private Facebook page about possible webinars or brainstorming exercises we might use to fill the day, but we kept it casual with no specific plans.

I am a writer of Children's and Young Adult books. I received my MFA in Creative Writing for Children and Young Adults from Hamline University in St. Paul, MN, and am an active member of SCBWI. I also have my MLS in Library Science with an emphasis on children and happily worked as a Children's Librarian for nearly 20 years. One of my favorite activities was reading books aloud to kids, especially to school-aged kids. Like the kids, I enjoy having stories read to me, so I listen to many of my books on audio and serve on audio judging committees.
Another favorite activity is creating fun snacks for library programs, friends, and family. I do that a lot and continually search for more ideas. I have a very large Russian Blue mix cat named Bosley from the shelter, and a rescue dog named Prince Albert. He's a Cavapoo, which means he's part Cavalier King Charles and part poodle, and adorable. I am married and live in Dayton, Ohio with my husband Rod.
