My daughter said I’m “cringe”, but I don’t care—it was super fun doing Immersive Gaming for both SQUID GAMES and FLOOR IS LAVA with her!
(and I.G. is def. better than V.R. or A.R.)

Did a small backpacking trek over the weekend, up to Cedar Glen (Mt. Baldy) in the San Gabriel Mountains. Carried in my gear and pitched a hammock between pine trees for the cold night. Beautiful scenery and clear views (especially of all of L.A. lights laid out in the far distance like molten lava)

Went tramping around the San Gabriel Mountains yesterday. Hiked to S.G. peak, then down and up Mt. Disappointment (true name!) Lots of history up there. Drizzly & thick fog going up the mountains, but at about 5,500+ elevation, broke through the clouds to brilliant, blue skies.

Over the weekend, I camped with my daughter's Girls Troop 220 of BSA on an island in San Diego Harbor. I set up on my own private cove, right on the beach, outside the camp overlooking the distant lights of Sea World... not a bad way to spend Friday through Sunday!

Got a new advance review in from ALA’s BOOKLIST for my upcoming MG anthology SCARING AND DARING.
The review is behind a paywall, so which I’m not supposed to share, but what I “can” say is that I am very, VERY happy with it!
Pull quote: “A win-win for any tween or teen bookshelf.”
