I'm a Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) member and  attended my first conference this year.

I learned a lot at the conference and met fellow children's writer L.R. Pinto.
Picture
She published a magical and adventurous children's book called Amanda Apple, and it's available through Amazon.  If you're not following her on twitter, you should be!

I've been following Writer/Illustrator Debbie Ohi on twitter, and finally meet her in person. 

Her seminar on Social Media For Authors & Author/Illustrator was very informative and interesting. 

You can also follow her other twitter account here

Author Robin LaFevers was also in attendance, and she too gave a great seminar. 

You should definitely check out her books, like her Theodosia series.
I couldn't leave without buying book 1

Agent Brenda Bowen's seminar was extremely fascinating! The advise and "behind the scene" she shared blew my mind.

It was definitely a fun learning experience for me, and hopefully not my  last seminar.

This is late, but I'm posting it anyway.  I was having problems getting the pictures from my camera

The Travel and Adventure Show came to town in Long Beach, and I decided to take the family for a day of 'adventure'
Picture
It was a Fun and great day seeing all the destinations and possibilities for future vacation spots.  There was something for everyone, including taste testing, shows, rock climbing and segways..or as my daughter and her friend call them- Sagways, ...Oh, and  giant hamster balls too.  Also, I grabbed some pretty cool freebies while there and NOW I WANT TO TRAVEL THE WORLD!
​

Meeting Travel Channel's Samantha Brown was the highlight of my day!  She's so awesome and I loved seeing her in person.  She was friendly and greeted everyone with a warm smile, and gave really great travel tips that I will use when I go to my favorite destinations!!

If you're not following Samantha Brown on Twitter, I  suggest you do.  She gives great tips on travel, and her adventures are always entertaining.
