What I Did on My Summer Vacation (and a First Books Update)...
Well everyone, I'm back from vacation. The hurricane didn't put much of a damper on beach going. It was a little rainy and a little overcast (which is fine with me because I sunburn at the drop of a hat), and gas was $5 a gallon when were were driving home. It was lovely seeing the ocean and even lovelier watching Murray dance in the surf and play in the sand. Here's a glimpse of his typical day at the beach.
I also had a chance to read through and contemplate all of the email I got from debut authors and I've picked my First Books lineup for the 2010 CWIM. I emailed four of you this morning. So if you haven't heard from me, I didn't choose you for this feature, but you may be hearing from me for something else, like a Debut Author of the Month interview.
Thanks so much to all of you who contacted me and congratulations again on your debut books. I wish I could read them all and interview each of you.

I'm so looking forward to the upcoming blogging conference in Portland. Hope to meet you there.
Me too, Kim. It's not a huge group some I'm sure it will be fairly easy to meet everyone!
congrats to the four lucky ones! looking forward to reading the interviews and novels!
I have decided to enter into the world of Children’s Literature.
I have an idea for a bilingual children's book series. It was strongly advised that I should pick up a copy of the CWIM 2008 issue to get started. I can’t wait to soak up as much information as I can regarding this industry.
I am in the process of raising my children to learn three languages. My commitment to
Multi-lingual education is the driving force for my series.
Any tips that you could offer to get me up to speed and expedite me forward so that I may present my unsolicited series to a publisher like Scholastic Books Inc., would be great.
Is the road as rocky and difficult to break into children’s literatur, as it can be for the adult books industry? I suppose I will find most of these answers when I buy the magazine. I just wanted to introduce myself and say thank you very much for your Blog. Coley from Hampton, VA
It looks like he had alot of fun!!! I remember the first time we took our kids to the Ocean, Galveston, Tx. I can't believe the devastation it suffered this Summer.
