		<description><![CDATA[As some of you may have heard, last week Icefall won the Edgar Award in the Juvenile Fiction category! I am honestly still a bit stunned. The nomination alone took me completely by surprise, to say nothing of actually winning. But I&#8217;m so thrilled and honored, and I&#8217;d like to say thank you to the [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve had glasses since I was about thirteen years old, but in the beginning I only wore them to see the board in class or when I went to a movie.

Next month, I&#8217;ll be critiquing at the Writing for Charity workshop. This annual charity event keeps growing and improving, and I&#8217;m pleased to be a part of it once again. They&#8217;ve made a few changes to the format, but attendees will still have the opportunity to have their work critiqued by one of Utah&#8217;s own [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve recently mentioned a secret project I&#8217;ve been involved with, and I am excited to finally announce it.
