• Gamibt Weekly’s Top 40 Under 40

  I’m very happy to be included in this year’s Top 40 Under 40 by Gambit Weekly. The reception was great and it was nice to network with so many people who are making contributions to our world. It’s funny because I actually nominated someone else this year and as I wrote the nomination all I…

• The Louisiana Book Festival 2012

  This past weekend, I signed books at the Louisiana Book Festival, held outside of the State Capital Building in Baton Rouge. This was my first time attending this festival and I had a great time.

• W.R.I.T.E. Week 3: 2nd Graders Illustrate their Books

  Last week our 2nd graders began to illustrate their books. They came out great! It’s funny because before I began the program I considered having professional illustrators complete the drawings in each book. After seeing the artwork their minds had in store for their books, I’m literally blown away. Take a look at a few…

• W.R.I.T.E. – Week 1

  After my first week with the 2nd Graders at Sci Tech I think we’ve both learned a lot. The kids learned what a narrative is and the basic elements that narratives encompass. We discussed main characters, plots & settings. All of the students completed their first rough draft of their books and we’ve got some…

• W.R.I.T.E. = Write Read & Illustrate to Educate

  Long time, no see. I’m really sorry I haven’t posted in a while but I’ve been BUSY. This past summer I spent most of my days organizing a writing program called W.R.I.T.E. that I successfully launched last week at Sci Tech Academy. W.R.I.T.E. (which is an acronym for Write, Read & Illustrate to Educate) is…
