Welcome!

Wren Lea Trindade, our first Blue Rose Girl Baby!
Yes, one of the Blue Rose Girls had a much more eventful Thanksgiving than the rest of us. While I was playing Barbie Dream House with my niece, Anna brought the beautiful Wren Lea into this world! Let's all give a collective awwwwwwww for the adorable baby!

Since Anna is going to be a bit busy, we're having a guest blogger fill in for her during the month of December. So, please, also welcome our December Guest Blogger Rebecca Sherman!

Rebecca is a fabulous agent with over 9 years of experience at Writer's House. Her clients include Lunch Lady author/illustrator Jarrett Krosoczka, the Scott O'Dell Award Winner Matt Phelan, Caldecott Honor Illustrator Brian Pinkney and Blue Rose Girls Anna Alter and Grace Lin (moi! The photo one the left is from the Newbery Banquet).

And not only is Rebecca a wonderful agent, I'm happy to say that she is also a friend. I knew we were going to get along great when during a visit to NYC we went to dinner and I couldn't decide on what to order. "All the appetizers sound amazing!" I said. "Then, let's just get all of them!" she said. And we did.

So please welcome the new girls to our blog and we hope you look forward to hearing from them (though Wren's words may need some Mommy-deciphering in the beginning)!
