Two weeks ago, the illustrator for my first book was in Austin, promoting her new book with the… ahem… Duchess of York.
Robin is illustrator to the stars, which is sort of funny since I’m not one.
But she is also just an all-around gal to lunch with.
Which I did.
And now, tomorrow, I leave for California to connect with the illustrator for my second book, along with my beloved editor.
Marla and Allyn are illustrator and editor to other stars and, also, all-around gals to lunch with.
Which I will.
Counting my blessings over here in my own earthly little universe…
California? Dare I hope it is northern California?
Or maybe you have to fly through San Jose somehow?
I wish. Way down south this time. NEXT time, though. For sure… 🙂
Woohoo! This sounds like the fun part of being a published author, and a worthy reward for the all the hard work to bring a title to fruition. Have fun in sunny CA!
Have a wonderful time! How nice to be able to meet with your illustrators in person…must be awfully satisfying to kiss their feet or hug them or something. 🙂
Lucky duck!! Have a safe journey and a blast once you get there :)!
Oh, Liz!
That sounds wonderful. 🙂
Have safe travels and a wonderful lunch. Personally, if I was having lunch with Marla Frazee, I’d have trouble getting past, “I love your pictures so much I want to tear them out of the books and hang them on my walls.”
So great! I really want to interview Marla one day. Love her work, and I’m looking forward to the book!

We have a lot in common…kids…writing…and running. Although I am not brave enough to list my weekly miles. What if I decide to bake brownies one day? Also, last year I was the crazy teacher handing out all those writing prompts.-Tell me about the day you came to school and your teacher was missing!- Congratulations on your books and I’ve enjoyed reading your blog.
celebrity lunch
Wow! Sounds like fun. Wish I could hop on a plane to CA for a celebrity luncheon!
Enjoy!
Safe travels and happy meetings.
