Hi! I am clearly hiding in the Writing Batcave, swamped with many work and book deadlines for 2010 so far. A quick peek out of my batcave to give you some fun updates from the annual SCBWI NY Conference & my show EUREKA on the SyFy Channel, and more! Keep reading for details!

The annual Society for Children Book Writers & Illustrators New York conference is happening right now (Jan. 29-31, 2010). You can find out more at the official SCBWI Conference Blog here: http://www.scbwiconference.blogspot.com/

There's a special blog posted today by children's book writer Lee Wind that you should check out... we filmed this on a whim during the summer 2009 National SCBWI Conference with editor Arthur A. Levine. It's a video tip on how not to annoy editors during a writing conference! Okay, I admit, I'm totally hamming it up. Acting is clearly not my forte. But I hope you enjoy this silly video presentation. The link is here: http://scbwiconference.blogspot.com/2010/01/scbwi-conference-tip-try-not-to-piss.html

In other news, I have more cartoon portraits of the folks I work with on SyFy Channel's EUREKA series. Check out my latest cartoons here, featuring Co-Executive Producer Eric Tuchman and Amy Berg! The  link for our writers' blog is here: http://eurekaunscripted.typepad.com/blog/

Well, it's back to my writing batcave for now. Keep visiting my website for future dispatches from the cave. Until then, Happy Writing!
