In August, Lauren relocated to Dallas, Texas, and has begun working with a local writing group and auditioning in the thriving theatrical community there. Howdy, Texas!

Shortly after relocating, Lauren's novel-in-progress was accepted to the prestigious Rutgers One-On-One Plus Conference in New Brunswick, NJ, this fall. Started in 1969 by Vivian Grey, the Rutgers Conference is a staple in children's literature, having turned out success stories from the likes of Marcie Aboff, Laurie Halse Anderson, Susan Campbell Bartoletti, Pat Brisson, Pamela Jane, Denise Lang, Gail Carson Levine, Dianne Ochiltree, Coleen Paratore, Pamela Curtis Swallow, Rita Williams-Garcia, Kay Winters and Elvira Woodruff.
