Wow! What a great time I had speaking, and meeting so many great and wonderful teachers, at the Michigan Reading Association conference this past weekend in Grand Rapids. I spoke at two sessions, attended a special Michigan author reception, and was honored at a very fun author breakfast (Table 22 and the wave!). It was really very special.

As promised, here is the link to download my PowerPoint presentation I referred to during my session. Please use it as you will. I'm also available for school visits, so e-mail me your requests and I'll see what I can do to make it out.

In honor of the event, I thought I would publish a a new short story in my story section. I hope you enjoy reading Squeaks as much as I enjoyed writing it.

As always check out my other stories and books, like The Glitter Box. Thanks for stopping by.
