Somewhere south of Springfield

Hi everyone,

Not exactly sure where we are. We drove in the dark and rain to get here last night. Lots of twists and turns and hills in the Ozarks around Branson. Looks good out the window this morning. So far so good. We’ll hole up here for a few days. Rest some, work some. I’ll let you know.

Where bones of my wits will lie at peace

Hi everyone,

The boxes of my papers recently placed on a 10-year loan to the Meyer Library on the campus of Missouri State University in Springfield have been processed and are now available for students and others interested in looking through some of my work. Should anyone want to find them, the collection number is M131, Dates 1972-2018. I don’t believe the Finders Aid is online yet but will let you know if it becomes available. At some point not far off there will be a video interview and an audio interview of me talking about my work placed with the collections.

The bulk of my earlier papers are archived in 37 boxes and 4 binders in the Philip A. Sadler Research Collection of Literature for Children and Young Adults housed in the James C. Kirkpatrick Library at University of Central Missouri in Warrensburg. Here’s a link to the collection.
