Exciting news! Julia Denos is illustrating the cover of My Mixed-Up, Berry Blue Summer. Her style reminds me of my younger self -- free-spirited, climbing trees, bicycling to Crystal Lake.

I heard the news when I was at a novel-writing retreat at Vermont College. It was great to be back in New England, tramping briskly across campus. What a joy to share stories and book suggestions. When you are with other writers, the ideas just flow and the inspiration seeps in, just like snowflakes melting on my hands.

Beautiful images of inspiration like snowflakes! It was that kind of weekend!

I remember you hearing the news of your illustrator. I thought it was pretty magical that your were in the upstairs children's section of Bear Cove surrounded by writers and award-winning books. Seemed to be a good omen!
