While waiting for all the Cheesy Poetry Contest entries to come in, I want to share this amazing afternoon with you. Seventeen Wisconsin SCBWI children's authors and illustrators gathered for readings and signings at the Martha Merrell Bookstore in Waukesha, WI.

And me, Dori Chaconas,
(who took the pictures
but forgot to give the camera
to someone else to take HER
picture, so she's using a stock photo.)
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, "Wisconsin is blessed with so many talented writers, and I'm humbled and fortunate to be among them!"
The event was the brainchild of our talented publicity lady, Denice Ryan Martin, who puts in many hours of work (and love) to promote our Wisconsin region of SCBWI.

She was given full support by our Regional Advisor, Pam Beres.
