Professional Development
 Gotta love Longmire! |  In March 2018, I made a quick trip to Sheridan, Wyoming and met one of my favorite authors, C.J. Box! What a pleasure! |  Josiah sold out at the Colorado Chapter of the International Reading Association conference in Denver. (CCIRA, February 2018) |

 Spent quite a bit of time learning from this accomplished author! |  At CCIRA, my books were available right there among the best-selling authors of our time. |  I also learned a lot from Ruta Sepetys. From Ruta's perspective, historical fiction is NOT the ugly girl at the dance. |
 Looking professional for the conference. |  High Plains Library District 2017 Writer in Residence |  I spent an afternoon and evening learning from this successful author. |
