Hi all! It's now fall (or at least school has started) and I'm back in the studio, hard at work . . . and back to a more regular blogging schedule.

First up, for the voyeurs (or just curious folks!) check out a new feature we're starting on the Southern Breeze Illustrators' Corner blog. We're doing virtual studio tours of our illustrators' workspaces. First up, we have Elizabeth Dulemba's super-organized studio. Check it out here.

Next, as a buildup to the upcoming WIK SCBWI Conference on October 19-20 in Birmingham, several members are hosting interviews of many of our presenters on their own blogs. Here's a schedule of what's happened so far and what's coming up:
