Description of Pictures: Marissa Moss: Amelia and her Notebooks:
Marissa Moss has written more than 50 children's books, from picture books to middle-grade and young adult novels. Best known for the Amelia’s Notebook series, her books are popular with teachers and children alike. "Barbed Wire Baseball," her latest picture book won the California Book Award Gold medal. Marissa studied art at San Jose State but fought too much with her art teachers (she was very opinionated - she wanted to do my kind of art; they wanted her to do theirs). She transferred to the University of California at Berkeley where she didn’t take a single English or Art class. Instead she took mostly history where she learned how to do research, tools that have helped her in making the historical journals and working on her young adult novel. She waited tables while sending out stories, waiting for some editor to fall in love with her work. There was no fall-back plan, no alternative career. She says she still would be waiting tables if she weren’t lucky enough to have gotten that first book. And after that, the second one, and then the third and the fourth and the fifth...

2015 photos: I retired from the US Census Bureau in god-forsaken Suitland, Maryland on my 58th birthday in May. Yee ha! Trips this year: a quick trip to Florida. two Civil War Trust conferences (Raleigh, NC and Richmond, VA), and my 10th consecutive San Diego Comic-Con trip (including Los Angeles). Ego Strokes: Carolyn Cerbin used a Kevin Costner photo in her USA Today article. Miss DC pictures were used a few times in the Washington Post. Equipment this year: I mostly used my Fuji XS-1 camera but, depending on the event, I also used a Nikon D7000. Number of photos taken this year: just over 550,000.
