I've drawn the winner in my contest for Laura Purdie Salas' picture book Stampede! Poems to Celebrate the Wild Side of School. JENNIFER BEASLEY, please come on over to my blog and let me know how to send you the book. Congratulations!

Also wanted to let you all know that I'm doing a teleseminar about critiquing memoir next Friday, with Linda Joy Myers of the National Association of Memoir Writers. You can find out about how to get in on the teleseminar here. Stop by if you've got time--it should be a fun conversation.
