Two of my favorite people and wonderful critique buddies each won Most Promising in their categories at last Saturday’s SCBWI  Central-Coastal California Writers' Day while I was out paddling my Kayak.  Woo Hoo and congratulations to two very talented ladies – Lynn Becker and Rebecca Langston-George! 

Here’s the complete list of winners.  (Psst -- I know that double winner, too.  If talent rubs off, the company I keep should make me famous someday.) 

Picture Book
Most Promising: The Cave, by Lynn Becker 
Special Mention: Off With This Hair!, by Tricia Candemeres
Special Mention: No Yeti Yet, by Mary Ann Fraser
Special Mention: Criss Cross, by Karen Jameson 

Chapter Book
No winners 

Middle Grade
Most Promising: Gathering Dust, by Rebecca Langston-George
Special Mention: Prince of Fire, by Meredith Glickman 
Special Mention: Hide and Seek, by Lisa Marnell 

Young Adult
Most Promising: One Hell of a Year, by W. Colin McKay
Special Mention: Cremains, by Mary Ann Fraser

Sadly, I was not there to cheer them on this year.  I was out kayaking, snorkeling, and meandering around Catalina Island with my husband on a rare and wonderful (if way too short) vacation.   Maybe next year I can squeeze both events into my busy schedule.

    I made a career of writing software by day while scribbling stories by night, a combo made even odder by the fact that I started my adult life as a marine biologist/geneticist. 

    I got my Ph.D. ever so long ago, but I still love science, especially the biological variety. Now I write SciFi and Fantasy that's full of it.  Science, I mean.
