This morning I had a wonderful time at Lankershim Elementary in Highland, California. I was participating in their Career Awareness Week Program, and I was a guest author. I spoke for about 35 minutes or so to a group of 1st and 2nd graders, telling them about my writing journey and encouraging them to do well in school no matter what career path they choose.

Afterward I answered their many questions, which included, “Do you write the Scooby Doo books?” (Answer: Unfortunately, no.) And, “Do you write with famous people?” (Answer: Not that I know of, but you never know).

I was even presented a certificate of appreciation for coming.

Thanks to the wonderful Career Awareness coordinator Gail Shaw and to the terrific students at Lankershim Elementary!
