My article, The Power of Doodling, is now out in the spring issue of Kiki Magazine.

I'm preparing to attend the Biographers International Organization annual conference in May on the USC campus in Los Angeles, plus participating in one of the panel discussions. Biography writers—this is a great chance to network with others of like interests and skill-build on this particular genre.

And last but not least: Nina Kosterina was born 91 years ago this month during
the Russian revolution. I'd love more people to read her story, so my biography

shipping in the U.S. through ebay. Check it out. You'll also find a photo spread and learning guide on Nina on the Books page.
